Theoretical Research Related to the Bates Experimental Program

计划于2000年春季在贝茨直线加速器中心举办一次关于利用电子散射和面外探测研究强子结构的讲习班。主要重点将是目前正在完成并计划于2000年取得数据的面外光谱仪系统。 OOPS批准了一个高度评价的方案，包括：使用N - Delta跃迁研究质子的形状;通过测量虚拟康普顿散射研究质子的结构;测量氘核结构中的小振幅可观测量。该讲习班将在贝茨举行，并涉及在上面列出的程序中活跃的5个理论家的顺序。 该组将包括以下内容：B。Holstein（U. Mass-Amherst），T.S.- H. Lee（阿贡），N. Mukopadhyah（RPI），M. Savage（UWash），R.施普林格（杜克），他们各自的小组成员，OOPS合作，贝茨用户社区，和CTP包括，T.W.唐纳利 讲习班将刊登广告，向更广泛的核物理界开放。 一个重要的方面将是集中年轻的理论学生和博士后的重要问题有关的强子结构的研究，使用平面外的检测能力。

It is planned to have a Workshop on the Study of Hadronic Structure using electron scattering with out-of-plane detection at the Bates Linear Accelerator Center in spring 2000. The primary focus will be the out-of-plane spectrometer system (OOPS) now under completion and scheduled to take data in 2000. A highly rated program has been approved with OOPS including: study of the shape of the proton using the N - Delta transition; investigation of the structure of the proton by measurement of virtual Compton scattering; and measurement of small-amplitude observables in the structure of the deuteron. The Workshop will take place at Bates and involve on the order of 5 theorists active in the programs listed above. The group will include the following: B. Holstein (U. Mass-Amherst), T.S.-H. Lee (Argonne), N. Mukopadhyah (RPI), M. Savage (UWash), R. Springer (Duke), members of their respective groups, the OOPS collaboration, the Bates User community, and the CTP including, T.W. Donnelly. The Workshop will be advertised and open to the wider nuclear physics community. An essential aspect will be to focus young theory students and post-docs on important problems relevant to the study of hadronic structure using the out-of-plane detection capabilities.
