[en] A new experiment on ep elastic scattering at large momentum transfer, Experiment E136, has recently completed data taking. A new measurement of deep inelastic electron scattering from nuclear targets, Experiment E139, has been completed and preliminary results are available. A new program of experiments has begun, called Nuclear Physics at SLAC (NPAS), that will use a new injector on the SLAC linac to provide high intensity beams in the energy range from 0.5 to 6 GeV

[en] A brief review is given of selected topics in the electromagnetic structure of nucleons and nuclei, including nucleon form factors from both quantum chromodynamics and electron scattering data, measurements of the deuteron and triton form factors, quasi-elastic scattering, and the EMC effect. 47 refs., 13 figs

[en] The Topical Conference on Electronuclear Physics with Internal Targets, sponsored by the program of Nuclear Physics at SLAC (NPAS), was held at SLAC January 9--12, 1989. This conference followed by two years a workshop on the same subject held at SLAC in January 1987. The topic of these meetings---the technology and physics opportunities with internal targets in stored beams---is a rapidly growing field of physics research stimulated by three main factors: (i) unique access to certain domains of nuclear and particle physics using ultrathin internal targets in high current stored beams. Examples are the possibility to surround the target with large acceptance detectors for coincidence detection of multi particle final states, and the ability to detect highly ionizing particles (nuclear fragments) that can escape from ultrathin targets. (ii) the existence of many storage rings, and new projects under construction, in laboratories around the world that provide a wide energy range of high current circulating beams of electrons, protons, and even anti protons that are suitable for use with internal targets. Some of these facilities are developing polarized beams which offer many exciting possibilities for physics. (iii) recent progress in the technology of ultrathin targets, especially developments which promise to produce usable targets of polarized nuclei. The purpose of this conference was to bring together people working on experimental techniques for internal targets as well as those with new ideas for physics questions to be addressed with these new tools

[en] A review is given of the experimental results from a series of measurements at SLAC of large momentum transfer (Q² > 20 fm^-2) electron scattering at forward angles from nuclei with A less than or equal to 4. Theoretical interpretations of these data in terms of traditional nuclear physics models and in terms of quark constituent models are described. Some physics questions for future experiments are explored, and a preview of possible future measurements of magnetic structure functions of light nuclei at large Q² is given

[en] A review is given of elastic electron scattering at large momentum transfer (Q² > 20 fm^-2) from nuclei with A less than or equal to 4. Recent experimental results are reviewed and the current problems in interpretation of these results are pointed out.

[en] A brief review is given of recent experimental results from high energy electron and muon scattering on nuclear targets. Electron-proton elastic scattering at SLAC, the A-dependence of deep inelastic scattering at SLAC and CERN, and recent electron scattering experiments in the new program Nuclear Physics at SLAC are described. Some planned future experiments using high energy electrons and muons to probe nuclear targets are outlined. 30 refs., 10 figs

[en] The Workshop on Electronuclear Physics with Internal Targets was held at SLAC on January 5-8, 1987. The idea for this workshop grew out of interest among physicists at SLAC and MIT/Bates who have been exploring the possibilities for internal targets in the PEP ring at SLAC and in a proposed stretcher ring at MIT/Bates. The aim of the workshop was to bring together physicists from these groups and from other laboratories and universities to discuss the new physics that could be made accessible with internal targets, and to share information on recent developments in internal target technology, on the impact of internal targets on ring operation, and on the detector requirements. The workshop was sponsored by NPAS, the program of Nuclear Physics at SLAC, and it was attended by more than 100 physicists from the US, Canada, Europe, and Japan. The workshop sessions began with two days of invited talks followed by two days of shorter presentations organized by the chairmen of four Working Groups. Written versions of all the plenary talks and all but four of the Working Group talks are presented here

[en] The experiments described are electron scattering measurements from nucleon and nuclear targets using electrons in the GeV energy range. Inelastic scattering is discussed, with an emphasis on deep-inelastic lepton scattering from nuclei and the recently discovered distortion of quark momentum distributions in nuclei, called the EMC effect
