This grant supports a program of research in nuclear physics and astrophysics at the Kellogg Radiation Laboratory of The California Institute of Technology. The research is carried out by a group consisting of 6 professional faculty, 2 research faculty, 14 postdoctoral fellows and visiting scientists, 12 graduate students and 8 undergraduates. The research consists of low energy experiments, intermediate energy experiments, and theory. The low energy work includes measurements relevant to the synthesis of the elements in the easily universe and in stellar evolution, and is conducted with accelerators in the Kellogg Laboratory. The intermediate energy experiments employ electron- scattering to probe short-range properties of nuclei. This work will include experiments with an optically pumped polarized 3He target built by the group, to determine the electric form factor of the neutron. The measurements will be made at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center, at the MIT Bates Laboratory, and at other international accelerator centers. In addition, a search for neutrino-oscillations will continue, using the neutrino beam from the Los Alamos Meson Facility. The theory component of the Kellogg program addresses a variety of theoretical and phenomenological studies, many of which are related to experiments carried out by the Kellogg group. Particular emphasis is placed in all these activities on providing students with the broadcast possible education in nuclear physics.

这项拨款支持一项核研究计划， 物理学和天体物理学在凯洛格辐射实验室， 加州理工学院。 这项研究是 由6名专业教师组成的小组进行， 研究人员，14名博士后研究员和访问学者 科学家，12名研究生和8名本科生。 该研究包括低能实验， 中间能量实验和理论。 低能量 工作包括有关的综合措施， 宇宙和恒星演化中的元素， 在凯洛格实验室用加速器进行。 中能实验采用电子- 散射来探测原子核的短程性质。 这 工作将包括实验与光泵 极化3 He目标由该集团建立，以确定 中子的电子形状因子。 测量结果将是 在麻省理工学院的斯坦福大学直线加速器中心 贝茨实验室和其他国际加速器 中心. 此外，对中微子振荡的研究将 继续，使用来自洛斯阿拉莫斯介子的中微子束 设施。 凯洛格计划的理论部分解决了 各种理论和现象学研究，许多 这与凯洛格实验有关 组 所有这些活动都特别强调 为学生提供广播教育， 核物理学
