Research is carried out at medium energy electron accelerators, in particular the MIT/Bates Linear Accelerator Center. The goal is to use the precision and versatility of the electron probe to study the structure of matter. The energy of the accelerator is such that we can 'see' matter at distances where phenomena are governed by the strong nuclear force. Experiments are carefully designed to gain insight into the structure and dynamics of nuclear matter. This is a contemporary field of research that uses recent technological advances in the production of electron beams and nuclear targets coupled with specially designed detection systems. At the Bates Center we conduct experiments with multiple magnetic spectrometers capable of making high precision measurements to advance the science. We are also leading the construction of a new detector, the Bates Large Acceptance Spectrometer Toroid (BLAST). which is expected to start data taking in 2002. Up to date information in the development of these projects can be found at http://mitbates.mit.edu. Our research program under this grant provides an excellent environment for the educational development of students and postdoctoral personnel.

研究在中能电子加速器，特别是麻省理工学院/贝茨直线加速器中心进行。目标是利用电子探针的精确性和多功能性来研究物质的结构。加速器的能量是这样的，我们可以“看到”物质的距离，在那里的现象是由强核力。实验经过精心设计，以深入了解核物质的结构和动力学。这是一个当代的研究领域，它利用电子束和核目标生产方面的最新技术进步，加上专门设计的探测系统。在贝茨中心，我们使用多个磁谱仪进行实验，这些磁谱仪能够进行高精度测量，以推动科学发展。我们还领导了一个新的探测器，贝茨大型接受光谱仪环形（BLAST）的建设。预计将于2002年开始收集数据。有关这些项目发展的最新信息，请访问http://mitbates.mit.edu。我们的研究计划根据这项补助金为学生和博士后人员的教育发展提供了一个良好的环境。
