Florian Hauenstein
Florian Hauenstein has been a Hall B staff scientist at Jefferson Lab since 2021. He studied at Erlangen-Nuremberg University in Germany where he
received his Physics Diploma (2010) and Ph.D. (2014). His doctoral thesis studied strangeness production with polarized proton beams at the COSY-TOF
detector at the COSY accelerator in Juelich, Germany. His thesis determined a first model-independent measurement of the spin-triplet Λ-proton
scattering length, as well as multiple polarization observables in the hyperon production channels. He continued with other analyses at COSY-TOF at
his first postdoctoral research position at the Research Center Juelich. He joined Old Dominion University (ODU) as a postdoctoral associate in 2016
and worked on Short-Range-Correlation (SRC) experiments in JLab's experimental Halls A and B. He prepared the Hall A detectors and DAQ for the
experiments on tritium and lead the construction of the Backward Angle Neutron Detector (BAND) for Hall B. He continued as a joint postdoc with
ODU and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2019. His main research program focuses on short range correlations (SRCs) in nuclei and understanding
the EMC effect. He is also interested in hyperon production and A=3 nuclei. As a staff scientist in Hall B, he leads the CLAS12 Drift Chamber group
and the development of a new tracker based on μRWell technology. He has authored over 100 papers published in refereed journals and is spokesperson
of several experiments at JLab.
Current Responsibilities in Hall B:
- Group leader for the Drift Chamber group - responsibilties for calibration, system upgrades, and monitoring system performance.
- Leading development of μRWell detectors for the CLAS12 luminosity upgrade in cooperation with engineers, the DAQ group, other Hall B staff,
and collaboration members.
- Current head of the CLAS12 efficiency task force.
- Contact for the BAND detector - calibrations, system status, and expert on-call.
