Structure of the Neutron and Few-Body Nuclear Systems with Electron Scattering

9511192 Petratos研究将在高能电子散射反应中进行，重点是(1)核子的电荷、磁化和自旋结构，以及(2)少核子系统的短程结构。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。这项工作将在SLAC和CEBAF电子加速器实验室进行。开发、建造和使用最先进的主要设备，包括CEBAF Hall A光谱仪的塑料闪烁体望远镜，是这项活动不可或缺的一部分。对于这位肯特州立大学的研究员来说，研究生、本科生和博士后的教育是这笔补助金各个方面的重要组成部分。***

9511192 Petratos Research will be carried out in high energy electron scattering reactions centered on the study of (1) nucleon charge, magnetization, and spin structure, and (2) the short-range structure of few-nucleon systems. 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 at the SLAC and CEBAF electron accelerator laboratories. Development, construction, and utilization of major state-of-the- art equipment, including a plastic scintillator hodoscope for the CEBAF Hall A spectrometer, 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 Kent State University researcher. ***
