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电子散射与面外探测强子结构研究研讨会。主要的焦点将是目前正在完工的面外光谱仪系统（OOPS），计划在2000年采集数据。OOPS已经批准了一个高度评价的项目，包括：利用N - δ跃迁研究质子的形状；用虚康普顿散射研究质子的结构以及氘核结构中小振幅观测值的测量。研讨会将在贝茨举行，大约有5位理论家参与上面列出的项目。该小组将包括以下人员：B. Holstein (U. Mass-Amherst)， T.S.-H。Lee (Argonne)， N. Mukopadhyah (RPI)， M. Savage (UWash)， R. b施普林格（Duke），以及他们各自小组的成员，OOPS协作，Bates用户社区和CTP包括T.W. Donnelly。讲习班将进行广告宣传，并向更广泛的核物理学界开放。一个重要的方面是将年轻的理论学生和博士后集中在与利用面外探测能力研究强子结构有关的重要问题上。

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.
