Experimental Studies of Quark Interactions

该奖项将资助东南马萨诸塞大学的一个小组，该小组正在布鲁克海文国家实验室进行一项实验（E850），旨在提高我们对强子结构及其短距离相互作用动力学性质的理解。实验方法是基于观察两体弹性散射和产生过程，当它们发生在质心90度时。本实验将通过建立量子色动力学中微扰方法的有效性限制，并对非微扰贡献的性质有所了解，来测试量子色动力学（QCD）。

This award will provide support to a group from Southeastern Massachusetts University, who is working on an experiment (E850) at Brookhaven National Laboratory, designed to improve our understanding of the structure of hadrons and the nature of the dynamics of their interactions at short distances. The experimental method is based on observing two- body elastic scattering and production processes, when they occur at 90o in the center of mass. This experiment will test Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) by establishing the limits of validity of perturbative methods in QCD and achieving some understanding of the nature of the non-pertubative contributions.
