9971819Chant The University of Maryland Experimental Nuclear Physics Group consists of six faculty, two research associates, four graduate students and two undergraduates. Our proposed research uses particle accelerators to study nuclear reactions and nuclear structure at very small distances. In most cases we use electron beams from the accelerator at Jefferson Laboratory. Our experimental program is largely focussed on studies of the quark structure of nucleons and the dynamics of nucleons and mesons embedded in nuclear systems. We use measurements of the spin direction of particles involved in nuclear reactions to enhance the precision and selectivity of our studies. We are studying both electromagnetic and weak interaction properties of the nucleon. We also propose studies of the production of strange mesons and the formation of nuclei with embedded strange mesons. In addition to the experiments proposed, we are heavily involved in the support and construction of detector systems for detectors and liquefied gas targets for the Jefferson Laboratory Experimental Halls.

马里兰大学实验核物理小组由六名教员、两名助理研究员、四名研究生和两名本科生组成。我们建议的研究使用粒子加速器在非常小的距离内研究核反应和核结构。在大多数情况下，我们使用来自杰斐逊实验室加速器的电子束。我们的实验计划主要集中在研究核子夸克结构以及嵌入在核系统中的核子和介子的动力学。我们使用测量核反应中涉及的粒子的自旋方向来提高我们研究的精确度和选择性。我们正在研究核子的电磁和弱相互作用性质。我们还建议研究奇异介子的产生和嵌入奇异介子的原子核的形成。除了拟议的实验外，我们还积极参与杰斐逊实验室实验大厅探测器和液化气体靶标探测器系统的支持和建造工作。
