CAREER: Intermediate Energy Nuclear Physics with Polarized and Unpolarized Photons and the Enhancement of Educational Opportunities at the George Washington University

将开展一项为期四年的研究和教学活动。研究计划包括高能光子与核子和轻核相互作用的基本测量，主要侧重于测量中子的电磁极化率，这是核物理和粒子物理中基本感兴趣的量。还提出了光子与质量三核相互作用中电荷对称性的测试方法。这两项测量都将在萨斯卡通加速器实验室进行。托马斯·杰斐逊国家加速器提出了利用偏振光子产生ETA介子的测量方法。除了培养学生的研究能力外，教学方面还包括升级和发展本科实验室的实验，以及为非理科专业开设一门新课程。

A four year program of research and teaching activities will be carried out. The research program consists of fundamental measurements of the interaction of high energy photons with nucleons and light nuclei with primary emphasis on a measurement of the electromagnetic polarizabilities of the neutron, quantities of fundamental interest in nuclear and particle physics. Also a test of charge symmetry in photon interactions with mass three nuclei is proposed. Both measurements will be carried out at the Saskatoon Accelerator Laboratory. Measurements of eta meson production with polarized photons are proposed for the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility. In addition to the training of students in research, teaching aspects include the upgrade and development of experiments for an undergraduate laboratory and the introduction of a new course for non- science majors.
