0072416JonesThis award supports research in connection with experiments atThomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (TJNAF). The primary effort is directed at the RadPhi experiment, which measuresradiative decays of the phi(1020) meson to scalar states a0(980) andf0(980). The relative rates of these decay modes hold an importantclue that is need to resolve a long-standing puzzle surrounding thequark-gluon structure of these states. A second line of research isdirected toward the proposed Hall D facility at TJNAF, which has thepotential to provide qualitative new insights into the nature ofconfinement in mesons. UConn will play a major role by takingfreponsibility for the design of a new coherent photon source andbeamline.

0072416琼斯该奖项支持与托马斯杰斐逊国家加速器设施（TJNAF）实验有关的研究。 主要工作是针对RadPhi实验，该实验测量phi（1020）介子到标量态a0（980）和f0（980）的辐射衰变。 这些衰变模式的相对速率为解决围绕这些态的夸克-胶子结构的长期难题提供了重要线索。 第二条研究路线是针对TJNAF拟议的D厅设施，该设施有可能为介子禁闭的性质提供定性的新见解。 UConn将在新的相干光子源和光束线的设计中发挥重要作用。
