0071856McKeownThis program includes experimental and theoreticalresearch in a variety of areas in nuclear physics. The projects arefocussed on fundamental understanding of the structure and interactions of nucleons and the use of nuclear physics toperform precision tests the standard electroweak theory.A substantial part of the experimental program involvesstudies of parity violation in electron scattering fromnucleons, nuclei, and electrons. A program to exploita new intense source of ultra-cold neutrons in Los Alamoswill study the beta asymmetry in neutron decay withunprecedented precision as well as other fundamental propertiesof neutrons. The education and training of studentsand postdoctoral scholars is a key aspect of this research program.

[00:07 . 1856]这个项目包括核物理学各个领域的实验和理论研究。这些项目的重点是对核子的结构和相互作用的基本理解，以及使用核物理学对标准电弱理论进行精确测试。实验计划的很大一部分涉及核子、原子核和电子散射中宇称违逆的研究。一个在洛斯阿拉莫斯开发新的超冷中子强源的项目将以前所未有的精度研究中子衰变中的β不对称性以及中子的其他基本性质。学生和博士后学者的教育和培训是这个研究项目的一个关键方面。
