The proton is one of the building blocks of everyday matter, with protons in the core of every atom. The proton is in turn made of subnuclear particles known as quarks and gluons. The project supported by this award will improve our understanding of the proton's internal structure, with a focus on the dynamical behavior of the constituent quarks. High-energy particle accelerator facilities at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab) will be used to perform the research. A beam of protons will be accelerated to high energy and strike a liquid hydrogen target; the nucleus of a hydrogen atom is comprised of a single proton. Measurement of the particles produced in the collisions will provide information on the behavior of the quarks in their parent protons.The efforts supported by this award will additionally serve to increase diversity among young scientists trained as nuclear physicists. Training the next generation of nuclear physicists is critical to maintain expertise relevant to the nation's energy and defense needs and to continue advancing both applied and non-applied research in nuclear physics and technology. In each year of this award a student from Mount Holyoke College, an undergraduate institution for women, will be given the opportunity to perform summer research in nuclear physics at Fermilab. Furthermore, this award will provide tuition, salary, and travel support for an African-American graduate student. In addition to supporting his dissertation research, he will receive support to travel once per semester to his alma mater, Howard University, a historically black university, to speak with current physics undergraduates about his experience and progress pursuing a Ph.D. in nuclear physics.

质子是日常物质的组成部分之一，每个原子的核心都有质子。 质子又由亚核粒子夸克和胶子组成。 该奖项支持的项目将提高我们对质子内部结构的理解，重点是组分夸克的动力学行为。 费米国家加速器实验室（Fermilab）的高能粒子加速器设施将用于进行研究。 一束质子将被加速到高能量并撞击液态氢目标;氢原子的原子核由单个质子组成。 对碰撞中产生的粒子的测量将提供关于夸克在其母体质子中行为的信息。该奖项所支持的努力还将有助于增加培养为核物理学家的年轻科学家的多样性。 培养下一代核物理学家对于保持与国家能源和国防需求相关的专业知识以及继续推进核物理和技术的应用和非应用研究至关重要。 在这个奖项的每一年，一个学生从山霍利奥克学院，本科院校的妇女，将有机会进行夏季研究在费米实验室的核物理。 此外，该奖项将为非洲裔美国研究生提供学费，工资和旅行支持。 除了支持他的论文研究，他将获得支持，每学期前往他的阿尔马母校，霍华德大学，一个历史上的黑人大学，与当前的物理本科生谈论他的经验和进展追求博士学位。在核物理学中。
