Nuclear Physics Research with Electrons, Photons, and Antiprotons

伊利诺伊大学核物理实验室(NPL)使用位于美国、加拿大和欧洲的内部超导电子加速器(MUSL-II)和一些更高能量的用户设施进行核科学的基础研究。NPL研究的中心是电磁核物理(EMNP)，即电子散射和光反应。使用欧洲核子研究中心设施的反质子湮灭研究和加速器物理的较小项目也在进行中。MUSL-II提供能量高达100 MeV的连续波电子束，用于主要与核结构有关的电和光诱导符合反应研究。在MUSL-II研究活动结束后，将主要在麻省理工学院/贝茨、萨斯喀彻温省大学和CEBAF电子加速器进行全面用户模式EMNP研究，主要针对亚核自由度(核子、介子和夸克)。仪器开发是NPL的一项重要职能。将进行大规模的设备建设项目，以支持用户计划，包括探测器、电子学、光谱仪、专用靶、极化电子源和相关设备。研究生融入不良贷款研究的方方面面，包括设备开发，他们的培训是不良贷款活动的一个突出方面。这笔助学金将资助大约16名在校研究生。

The Nuclear Physics Laboratory (NPL) of the University of Illinois conducts fundamental research in nuclear science using an in-house superconducting electron accelerator (MUSL-II) and a number of higher energy user facilities located in the US, Canada, and Europe. The central thrust of NPL research is electromagnetic nuclear physics (EMNP); i.e., electron scattering and photoreactions. Smaller programs of anti-proton annihilation studies using CERN facilities and of accelerator physics are also being conducted. MUSL-II provides continuous wave electron beams at energies up to 100 MeV for use in electro-and photo-induced coincidence reaction studies, primarily related to nuclear structure. Following conclusion of MUSL-II research activities, a program of full user mode EMNP research will be conducted, principally at the MIT/Bates, University of Saskatchewan, and CEBAF electron accelerators, aimed generally at sub-nuclear degrees of freedom (nucleons, mesons, and quarks). Instrumentation development is an important function at the NPL. Large scale equipment construction projects will be undertaken in support of the user program and including detectors, electronics, spectrometers, specialized targets, polarized electron sources, and related equipment. Graduate students are integrated into all aspects of NPL research, including equipment development, and their training is a prominent aspect of NPL activities. Approximately 16 graduate students in residence will be supported by this grant.
