US-Japan Nuclear Physics Workshop

该奖项支持10月11日在夏威夷的杰斐逊实验室和J-PARC举行的美日介子生产反应联合研讨会。2009年13日。这次研讨会将提供一个论坛，介绍和讨论世界范围内的理论和实验努力，在核物理学中的激发重子的研究。重子激发态研究的目的是为了弄清核子内部夸克和胶子的不同激发态组态。讲习班的主要重点是讨论有关使用介子产生反应研究强子结构的实验和理论问题，特别是超子和相关的超核物理，并探讨使用正在日本建造的J-PARC新强子设施的可能性。J-PARC是当今世界上首屈一指的介子生产设施，生产强烈的π介子，K介子及其衰变产物（如中微子）。杰斐逊实验室的激发重子分析中心（EBAC）理论小组已经成立，与强子产生领域的实验学家合作，并将为J-PARC的实验带来新的想法。美国研讨会的组织者是K。美国康涅狄格大学的Joo博士说，俄亥俄州大学的希克斯和T.S.- H.阿贡国家实验室的李。日本的组织者是S。高能加速器研究机构（KEK）的Sawada和T。中野和T.佐藤，大坂大学的。研讨会将汇集15名美国研究人员，包括4名研究生和博士后，以及相当数量的日本研究人员。

This award supports a US-Japan joint workshop on Meson Production Reactions at Jefferson Lab and J-PARC in Hawaii on October 11?13, 2009. This workshop will provide a forum for presentations and discussions of the world-wide theoretical and experimental efforts for the study of excited baryons in nuclear physics. The goal of the excited baryons study is to clarify the different excited configurations of quarks and gluons inside the nucleon. The main focus of the workshop is to discuss the experimental and theoretical issues concerning the use of meson production reactions to investigate the structure of hadrons, in particular the hyperons and the related hyper nuclear physics, and explore the possibility of using the new hadron facility at J-PARC that is being constructed in Japan. J-PARC is the premier meson production facility in the world today, producing intense beams of pions, kaons and their decay products (such as neutrinos). The Excited Baryon Analysis Center (EBAC) theory group at Jefferson Lab has been established to work with experimentalists in the field of hadron production, and will bring new ideas for experiments at J-PARC. The U.S. workshop organizers are K. Joo of University of Connecticut, K. Hicks of Ohio University, and T.S.-H. Lee of Argonne National Lab. The Japanese organizers are S. Sawada of High Energy Accelerator Research Organization (KEK) and T. Nakano and T. Sato, both of Osaka University. The workshop will bring together 15 U.S. researchers, including 4 graduate students and postdocs, with a comparable number of Japanese.
