This award will support travel expenses of the principal investigator to participate in an upcoming experiment at Jefferson Laboratory in Newport News, VA. The experiment, approved with high priority, will involve electron scattering from deuterium, and will provide through analysis a measurement of the neutron charge form factor at the highest momentum transfer yet employed. This measurement will provide further insight into the distribution of charge in the neutron (electrically neutral, but non-zero positive and negative charge inside) and will help us to understand better how quarks and gluons are bound into composite particles such as the neutron. Participation in this experiment will also involve extensive interaction with students, postdoctoral scholars, and other junior scientists.

该奖项将支持主要研究者参加即将在弗吉尼亚州纽波特纽斯的杰斐逊实验室进行的实验的差旅费。 该实验获得高度优先批准，将涉及氘的电子散射，并将通过分析提供对迄今为止采用的最高动量转移的中子电荷形状因子的测量。 这种测量将进一步了解中子中的电荷分布（电中性，但内部有非零的正负电荷），并将帮助我们更好地理解夸克和胶子是如何束缚成中子等复合粒子的。 参与这项实验还将涉及与学生，博士后学者和其他年轻科学家的广泛互动。
