Research in Theoretical Hadronic Physics and Related Topics

该项目的目标是计算修正，以支持实验，如宇称破坏电子散射，正在寻找标准模型以外的物理信号；准确计算核子质量的电磁修正，占我们最近所了解的所有核子结构；研究扭曲光子态的潜在核物理应用，这是携带非常高角动量的光子态；继续获得强子理论结果，从描述我们世界中的核相互作用的规范理论和更高维度的引力理论模型之间的显著对应；利用核物理知识准确地获得原子能量分裂的重要核尺寸修正。这些项目将有助于弥合强子理论(通过强核力相互作用的粒子)和观察到的现象之间的差距，并导致对强子反应机制的更好理解。一个项目还将连接到另一个领域，原子物理领域。他们还将培训新学生，包括本科生。PI已经有两名成功的女博士生，本项目可能会为进入该领域的女性提供更多机会。PI定期在杰斐逊实验室，在大学和国家实验室之间以及数据和理论之间架起一座桥梁。

The goals of the project are to calculate corrections in support of experiments such as parity violating electron scattering that are searching for signals of physics beyond the standard model; to calculate accurately electromagnetic corrections to nucleon masses accounting for all we have learned about nucleon structure in recent times; to study potential nuclear physics applications of twisted photon states, which are photon states that carry very high angular momentum; to continue obtaining hadron theory results from the remarkable correspondence between the gauge theories that describe nuclear interaction in our world and theoretical models of gravity in higher dimensions; and to use nuclear physics knowledge to accurately obtain important nuclear size corrections to atomic energy splittings.These projects will help bridge the gap between the theory of hadrons (particles that interact via the strong, or nuclear, force) and observed phenomena, and lead to greater understanding of the mechanisms of hadronic reactions. One project will also connect to another field, the field of atomic physics. They will also train new students, including undergraduates. The PI has had two successful women Ph. D. students, and the present project may extend opportunities for women entering the field. The PI is regularly at the Jefferson Laboratory and bridging the gap between university and national lab as well as between data and theory.
