Nuclear Physics with polarized beams and polarized targets at Jefferson Lab

The pioneering work of Robert Hofstadter made use of unpolarized electron scattering to measure cross sections, a technique that has been used to make profound incites in the nature of the nucleus. Today scientist build upon that work by not only measuring cross sections but also measuring asymmetries using polarized beams and polarized targets. I will give a summary of the polarized beam and polarized target experiments at Jefferson Lab with an emphasis on elastic and quasi-elastic scattering.
