Nuclear Chromodynamics, U.S.-Pakistan Cooperative Research at M.I.T.

描述：该项目为巴基斯坦伊斯兰堡Quaid-i-Azam大学物理系Pervez Hoodbhoy博士与剑桥麻省理工学院的John W.Negele博士一起参加一个研究项目提供旅费和生活费。该项目将在核色动力学领域，即夸克和胶子在确定原子核结构和性质方面的作用。麻省理工学院物理小组带头解决了解开原子核夸克结构这一具有挑战性的任务。这些工作集中在核子模型的发展，弹性散射形状因子的计算，夸克和颜色自由度的直接激发，在极高能深度非弹性电子散射中直接测量夸克动量，以及创造强子物质的反常状态来探测它们的瞬时存在。QAU集团也对这种方法非常感兴趣。范围：麻省理工学院和昆士兰大学的合作已经开始，在核色动力学领域已经有一篇由麻省理工学院的Hoodbhoy和R.L.Jaffee撰写的论文。QAU的进一步工作导致出版了更多的出版物。这一合作很可能将使两个团队受益，并产生重大成果，此外，还将按照发展中国家科学计划的设想，在巴基斯坦建立理论核物理方面的可行科学研究能力。

Description: This project provides support for travel and living expenses for Dr. Pervez Hoodbhoy, Department of Physics, Quaid-I-Azam University (QAU) Islamabad, Pakistan to participate in a research project with Dr. John W. Negele at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge. The project will be in the area of Nuclear Chromodynamics, the role of quarks and gluons in determining the structure and properties of atomic nuclei. The MIT physics group has taken the lead in attacking the challenging task of unravelling the quarks structure of nuclei. The efforts are concentrated on development of nucleon models, calculation of elastic scattering form factors, direct excitation of quark and color degrees of freedom, direct measurements of quark momentum in very high energy deeply inelastic electron scattering, and creation of abnormal states of hadron matter to detect their momentary existance. The QAU group is also deeply interested in this approach. Scope: The MIT - QAU collaboration has started, and there already exists one paper in the area of Nuclear Chromodynamics written by Hoodbhoy and R.L. Jaffee of MIT. Further work at QAU resulted in more publications. It is likely that this collaboration will benefit both teams and lead to significant results in addition to building a viable scientific research capability in theoretical nuclear physics in Pakistan, as envisioned in the Science in Developing Countries Program.
