This grant will support the continuation of the experimental research program of the intermediate energy experimental nuclear physics group at Rutgers University. The experimental work will be carried out at Jefferson Laboratory in Newport News, Virginia, and Fermilab, in Batavia, Illinois.The main interests of the group, and of the laboratory, are in experiments designed to unfold the quark structure of nuclei and nucleons. The JLab experiments concentrate on uncovering the structure and substructure of the nucleon. These will continue previous work on the form factors and begin a new series of experiments studying the transverse quark momentum distributions. The experiments being developed for Fermilab, in Batavia, Illinois, which will explore the quark structure of free and bound nuclei using neutrinos, and the quark sea of the nucleon using proton beams and quark-anti-quark annihilation through the Drell-Yan process. The high flux neutrino beams will allow high statistics experiments providing information on the nuclear effects in deep inelastic scattering of neutrinos for the first time.The broader impact of this project is primarily in the training of students, both at the graduate and post-doctoral level. The training they receive in the process of doing basic research has led to careers in a variety of areas, from medical physics to national security to financial analysis, in addition to continued work in fundamental physics research. This proposal continues the support and training of women students that has been a long tradition of the Rutgers nuclear physics program.

这笔赠款将支持罗格斯大学中能实验核物理小组的实验研究计划的继续。实验工作将在弗吉尼亚州纽波特纽斯的杰斐逊实验室和伊利诺斯州巴达维亚的费米实验室进行。该小组和实验室的主要兴趣是旨在揭示原子核和核子的夸克结构的实验。JLab的实验集中于揭示核子的结构和亚结构。这些将继续以前的工作的形状因子和开始一系列新的实验研究的横向夸克动量分布。正在为伊利诺斯州巴达维亚的费米实验室开发的实验将使用中微子探索自由和束缚核的夸克结构，并使用质子束和通过Drell-Yan过程的夸克-反夸克湮灭来探索核子的夸克海。高通量中微子束将使高统计实验首次提供关于中微子深度非弹性散射核效应的信息。该项目的更广泛影响主要是培养研究生和博士后学生。他们在做基础研究的过程中接受的培训导致了各种领域的职业生涯，从医学物理到国家安全到金融分析，以及基础物理研究的持续工作。该提案继续支持和培训女学生，这是罗格斯大学核物理计划的悠久传统。
