This POWRE award provides funding that would allow the PI to expand on the initiation of a new research activity at Thomas Jefferson Nuclear Accelerator Facility (TJNF). This proposal will allow the PI to participate in TJNAF experiment 093-038, 'The electric and Magnetic Form Factors of the Neutron' to further advance her research career. This experiment addresses a fundamental question regarding the nature of the charge structure of the neutron: What is the spatial distribution of the constituent quark within the neutron? The question is addressed in this experiment by scattering longitudinally polarized electrons quasi-elastically from a neutron in deuterium. The award is funded by the NSF POWRE program, the Office of Multidisciplinary Activities in the MPS Directorate, and the Physics Division.

这个POWRE奖提供资金，将允许PI扩大在托马斯杰斐逊核加速器设施（TJNF）的新研究活动的启动。 该提案将允许PI参与TJNAF实验093-038，“中子的电磁形状因子”，以进一步推进她的研究生涯。 这个实验解决了一个关于中子电荷结构性质的基本问题：中子中组分夸克的空间分布是什么？ 这个问题是解决在这个实验中散射纵向极化电子准弹性从中子在氘。该奖项由NSF POWRE计划，MPS董事会多学科活动办公室和物理部门资助。
