Study of Nuclear Physics with Intermediate Energy Probes

这项拟议的研究包括三个实验室的基于加速器的实验计划--布鲁克海文国家实验室、托马斯·杰斐逊国家加速器设施和欧洲同步辐射设施。这三个设施的实验都使用光核反应来研究介子和核子共振的产生，以及中子和质子的基本性质。每个程序的一个主要组成部分是极化的光子与极化的核子的散射。这些实验解决了核物理和粒子物理学中的基本问题。

The proposed research consists of accelerator based experimental programs at three laboratories -Brookhaven National Laboratory, Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility, and the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility. The experiments at all three facilities use photonuclear reactions to investigate the production of mesons and nucleon resonances, as well as fundamental properties of the neutron and proton. A dominant component of each program is the scattering of polarized photons from polarized nucleons. The experiments address fundamental questions in nuclear and particle physics.
