Present and Future of the Saclay Electron Linac

摘要

Without major improvements of the characteristics of ALS, the domain of research available to experiments will be large enough for many years. A few particular experiments can be done with the pion-muon channels despite the competition of the meson factories. But the two main directions of research will use the electrons and photons as tools. The large magnetic spectrometers of the electron scattering area used in combination with the flexible beam handling system allow to perform experiments of elastic and inelastic scattering at large momentum transfer with a good energy resolution and quasi elastic scattering with coincidences. The two experimental areas at ALS devoted to photonuclear reactions with their annihilation photon beams and tagged photon beams will allow the study of inclusive and exclusive photonuclear reactions from the collective nuclear resonances to the (3.3) baryonic resonance.
