- The PHENIX detector is designed to perform a broad study of A-A, p-A, and p-p collisions to investigate nuclear matter under extreme conditions. A wide variety of probes, sensitive to all timescales, are used to study systematic variations with species and energy as well as to measure the spin structure of the nucleon. Designing for the needs of the heavy-ion and polarized-proton programs has produced a detector with unparalleled capabilities. PHENIX measures electron and muon pairs, photons, and hadrons with excellent energy and momentum resolution. The detector consists of a large number of subsystems that are discussed in other papers in this volume. The overall design parameters of the detector are presented. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V.

- The instrumentation in Hall A at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility was designed to study electro-and photo-induced reactions at very high luminosity and good momentum and angular resolution for at least one of the reaction products. The central components of Hall A are two identical high resolution spectrometers, which allow the vertical drift chambers in the focal plane to provide a momentum resolution of better than 2 x 10(-4). A variety of Cherenkov counters, scintillators and lead-glass calorimeters provide excellent particle identification. The facility has been operated successfully at a luminosity well in excess of 10(38) CM-2 s(-1). The research program is aimed at a variety of subjects, including nucleon structure functions, nucleon form factors and properties of the nuclear medium. (C) 2003 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

- We present measurements of the recoil proton polarization for the d(γ⃗,p⃗)n reaction at θc.m. = 90° for photon energies up to 2.4 GeV. These are the first data in this reaction for polarization transfer with circularly polarized photons. The induced polarization py vanishes above 1 GeV, contrary to meson-baryon model expectations, in which resonances lead to large polarizations. However, the polarization transfer Cx does not vanish above 1 GeV, inconsistent with hadron helicity conservation. Thus, we show that the scaling behavior observed in the d(γ,p)ncross sections is not a result of perturbative QCD. These data should provide important tests of new nonperturbative calculations in the intermediate energy regime.

Differences between interfacial and surface molybdenum in the formation Of TiSi2

- Backscattering and diffraction results are presented for the effects of an interfacial or a surface Mo layer on the formation of Ti-silicides during solid-state interaction between Ti films and Si substrates. It is shown that the interfacial and surface Mo are fundamentally different in their involvement in the Ti-silicide formation. The interfacial Mo induces the formation of C40 (Mo,Ti)Si-2 at the interface adjacent to the Si substrate already after annealing at 550 degreesC, in agreement with our previous results. Hence, the desired C54 TiSi2 can grow directly on top of the C40 (Mo,Ti)Si-2 at relatively low temperatures as a result of the template effect. The surface Mo is, however, found in a metal-rich silicide presumably (Mo,Ti)(5)Si-3 at 550-600 degreesC, which eventually converts to (Mo,Ti)Si-2 upon annealing at higher temperatures. Underneath this metal-rich silicide lies a fully developed C49 TiSi2 layer. Consequently, the formation of C54 TiSi2 in the presence of surface Mo follows the usual path of the C49-C54 phase transition. This important difference in the participation of Mo in the silicide formation spreads doubts about the validity of using interfacial Mo versus surface Mo to study the dominant mechanism(s) responsible for the enhanced formation of C54 TiSi2.
