This award supports intermediate energy nuclear research carried out by staff of the Nuclear Physics Laboratory at the University of Illinois. Activities are focused on the physics of nucleon and few-body nuclear structure and on the magnetic moment of the muon. Specifically, they involve measurements in five areas. First, there is the electron scattering program at the Bates/MIT accelerator that will try to determine if the proton is spherical or ellipsoidal. Second, there is a program of parity- nonconserving electron scattering at the Bates/MIT and the CEBAF accelerators that will try to measure new aspects of the structure of the proton and neutron. Third, there is the experiment to measure the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon at Brookhaven National Laboratory. Fourth, there are experiments involving proton-antiproton collisions at the Low Energy Antiproton Ring at CERN. These experiments search for new, exotic forms of nuclear matter, such as glueballs. And fifth, there are experiments using beams of photons at the Saskatchewan Accelerator Laboratory. These seek to study certain aspects of the structure of protons and neutrons as well as their interactions in light nuclei. All of these experiments address issues in intermediate energy nuclear physics that are at the forefront of our knowledge.

该奖项支持伊利诺伊大学核物理实验室工作人员进行的中能核研究。 活动重点是核子和少体核结构的物理学以及μ子的磁矩。 具体来说，它们涉及五个方面的测量。 首先，贝茨/麻省理工学院加速器上的电子散射程序将尝试确定质子是球形还是椭圆形。 其次，贝茨/麻省理工学院和 CEBAF 加速器有一个宇称非守恒电子散射计划，该计划将尝试测量质子和中子结构的新方面。 第三，布鲁克海文国家实验室测量μ子反常磁矩的实验。 第四，在欧洲核子研究中心的低能反质子环进行质子-反质子碰撞实验。 这些实验寻找新的、奇异的核物质形式，例如胶球。 第五，萨斯喀彻温省加速器实验室使用光子束进行实验。 这些旨在研究质子和中子结构的某些方面以及它们在轻核中的相互作用。 所有这些实验都解决了处于我们知识前沿的中能核物理问题。
