The Fermilab Student and Postdoc Association (FSPA) is the group of all students and postdocs association with Fermilab. The 2014-2015 FSPA officers will provide an update on the work that they have done to represent the interest of their contingency and advertise future events.

Collider experiments use forward-backward asymmetry (AFB) measurements to learn more about weak properties of particles. Inclusive measurements have shown anomalously large values compared to SM NLO predictions, making this of significant interest to the community. In this study, we examine a simple technique to extrapolate the inclusive AFB from the restricted regime (where eta is the...

SeaQuest is a running, fixed-target experimental program to study nucleon structure at Fermilab which began taking data in March 2014. The current SeaQuest experiment, E906, records unpolarized Drell-Yan and J/Psi events produced by 120 GeV protons from the Main Injector impinging on targets of hydrogen, deuterium, carbon, iron, and tungsten. These data will address two stubbornly...

SeaQuest is a fixed target Drell-Yan experiment that uses the 120-GeV proton beam extracted from the Main Injector at Fermilab to probe the sea structure of the nucleon. The SeaQuest forward spectrometer is optimized for detecting the high rate di-muon pairs arising from the Drell-Yan process.
Protons could also interact with the beam dump and generate massive dark gauge bosons or...

The beam normal single spin asymmetry (Bn) is generated in the scattering of normally polarized electrons from unpolarized nuclei. The asymmetry arises from the interference of the imaginary part of the two-photon exchange with the one-photon exchange amplitude. The Q-weak experiment has made the first measurement of Bn in the production of the Δ(1232) resonance, using the Q-weak apparatus in...
