Abstract
The BLAST (Bates Large Acceptance Spectrometer Toroid) collaboration is finalizing the analysis of a systematic study of the spin‐dependent, electromagnetic interaction on hydrogen and deuterium. The experiment utilized: the highly polarized electron beam of the MIT‐Bates Linear Accelerator Center stored in the South Hall Ring; an internal gas target of isotopically pure and highly polarized hydrogen or deuterium provided by an atomic beam source; and the symmetric, general purpose BLAST spectrometer. By making simultaneous measurements of many reaction channels for different combinations of beam helicity and target polarization BLAST is providing new, precise measurements for the nucleon and deuteron elastic form factors as well as studying the structure of deuterium and pion production from hydrogen and deuterium. A brief overview of the experiment will be presented together with a selection results.
