Research in Intermediate Energy Physics

9526217开展核物理实验研究。中心活动是一个高精度的介子衰变实验，将在瑞士的保罗·谢勒研究所进行。这一测量将为可能存在的其他几代夸克和轻子提供新的限制。还将在LAMPF进行研究，研究作为手性微扰理论测试的关键输入所需的介子-介子相互作用，在SLAC进行自旋结构功能测量，在CEBAF进行研究，包括关于核子结构和介子物理的工作。开发工作将用于生产一种快速，高分辨率的探测器系统，适用于介子衰变实验的高数据速率。上述领域的研究将促进我们对核子和介子的基本夸克模型的理解。这些话题是核物理学中最令人兴奋的。研究生和博士后的教育是这一活动不可或缺的一部分，同时也是开发和建设最先进的主要设备的一部分

9526217 Pocanic Research will be carried out in experimental nuclear physics. The central activity is a high precision pion beta-decay experiment which will be performed at the Paul Scherer Institute in Switzerland. This measurement will provide new limits on possible other generations of quarks and leptons. Research will also be carried out at LAMPF, studying pion-pion interactions needed as critical input in tests of chiral perturbation theory, at SLAC, in the area of spin structure function measurements, and at CEBAF, including work on nucleon structure and phi-meson physics. Development work will be carried out for the purpose of producing a fast, high-resolution detector system suitable for the pion beta decay experiment's high data rates. Research in the above areas will advance our understanding of the underlying quark model of nucleons and mesons. These topics are among the most exciting in nuclear physics. Education of graduate students and postdocs is integral to this activity, as is development and construction of major state-of-the-art equipment ***
