Description
The KaonLT/PionLT Collaboration probes hadron structure by measuring deep exclusive meson production reactions at Jefferson Lab. A set of high momentum, high resolution spectrometers in Hall C allow for precision measurements from which form factors and other observables can be extracted. One possible measurement is the beam spin asymmetry, which describes the fractional difference in cross-section between events caused by an electron of positive or negative helicity. This asymmetry is caused by interference between longitudinally and transversely polarized virtual photons, which makes it possible to extract a polarized interference cross-section
