Electromagnetic Nuclear Physics at Intermediate Energies

9507412纳波利塔诺研究将在高能电子散射和光核反应中开展，重点是研究重子和介子的结构和光谱。这些领域的研究将促进我们对这些系统的夸克和胶子结构的理解。这些主题是当代核物理学中的高度优先活动。这项工作将主要在CEBAF进行，尽管一些补充研究将在麻省理工学院贝茨实验室和布鲁克海文国家实验室进行。开发、建造和使用最先进的主要设备，包括CEBAF CLASS和SOS光谱仪的切伦科夫探测器和漂移室，是这项活动不可或缺的一部分。对研究生、本科生和博士后的教育是伦斯勒理工学院集团这笔赠款方方面面的重要组成部分。***

9507412 Napolitano Research will be carried out in high energy electron scattering and photonuclear reactions centered on the study of baryon and meson structure and spectroscopy. Research in these areas will advance our understanding of the quark and gluon structure of these systems. These topics are high priority activities in contemporary nuclear physics. The work will be carried out largely at CEBAF, although some complementary studies will be carried out at the MIT Bates Laboratory and at Brookhaven National Laboratory. Development, construction, and utilization of major state-of-the-art equipment, including Cherenkov detectors and drift chambers for the CEBAF CLAS and SOS spectrometers, is integral to this activity. Education of graduate and undergraduate students and postdocs is a strong component in every aspect of this grant for this Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute group. ***
