项目摘要

The strong interaction sector of the Standard Model of particle physics, described by the theory of quarks and gluons, QCD, presents a rich variety of phenomena, asymptotic freedom, confinement, and dynamical chiral symmetry breaking among the most fundamental ones, which determine the structure and dynamics of hadrons and nuclei. The understanding of those phenomena drives significant contemporary experimental and theoretical research efforts, where a variety of observables and processes are studied in order to shed light onto the complex landscape of strongly interacting matter. Through the application of theoretical approaches known as effective theories, this project aims at studying baryons, their static as well as dynamic properties which are relevant to the mentioned phenomena and to the present experimental efforts at several laboratories. Baryons are subatomic particles, such as nucleons or hyperons. A key objective of the project is to develop the effective theory tools that will permit a more accurate description of baryons at low and intermediate energies. The project is also invested in the research participation of graduate and undergraduate students, and it has the potential to enhance diversity in theoretical nuclear physics through its location at Hampton University. The goals of the project concentrate on the study of the physics of hadrons at low and intermediate energies, domains where the non-perturbative nature of the strong interactions is most prominent. The understanding of many of the hadron observables, such as form factors, electromagnetic polarizabilities, low energy hadron-hadron scattering, nuclear forces, etc, remains a work in progress where there is broad theoretical, experimental and lattice QCD activity. Through the use of the methods of effective theories, which are rigorously anchored in the strictures of QCD, a description of hadronic physics in those domains is possible, and with it an understanding of interrelations between different observables becomes possible. The program will concentrate on the study of baryons, namely protons, neutrons and their cousins the strange baryons, as well as their low lying excited states. It will entail the further development of effective theory tools, in this case chiral effective theory and the 1/Nc expansion, and their applications to baryon observables, in particular those not well understood, such as low energy (virtual) Compton scattering and corresponding polarizabilities, single-spin asymmetries in electron-nucleon scattering, low energy pion-nucleon scattering, and applications to results being obtained in lattice QCD calculations on baryon structure and the dependencies on quark masses.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

夸克和胶子理论（QCD）描述的粒子物理学标准模型的强相互作用部分呈现了丰富多样的现象，渐近自由，禁闭和最基本的动力学手征对称性破缺，这些决定了强子和核的结构和动力学。对这些现象的理解推动了当代重要的实验和理论研究工作，研究了各种可观测量和过程，以揭示强相互作用物质的复杂景观。通过应用被称为有效理论的理论方法，该项目旨在研究重子及其与上述现象和目前几个实验室的实验工作有关的静态和动态特性。重子是亚原子粒子，如核子或超子。该项目的一个主要目标是开发有效的理论工具，以便更准确地描述低能量和中等能量的重子。该项目还投资于研究生和本科生的研究参与，它有可能通过其在汉普顿大学的位置来增强理论核物理的多样性。该项目的目标集中于研究低能量和中等能量的强子物理学，在这些领域，强相互作用的非微扰性质最为突出。对强子的形状因子、电磁极化率、低能强子-强子散射、核力等许多可观测量的理解仍然是一项正在进行的工作，其中有广泛的理论、实验和晶格QCD活动。通过使用有效理论的方法，这些方法严格地锚定在QCD的结构中，在这些领域中描述强子物理是可能的，并且有了它，理解不同观测量之间的相互关系成为可能。该计划将集中研究重子，即质子，中子和它们的表亲奇怪的重子，以及它们的低位激发态。这将需要进一步发展有效的理论工具，在这种情况下，手征有效理论和1/Nc展开，以及它们对重子可观测量的应用，特别是那些还没有很好理解的，如低能（虚）康普顿散射和相应的极化率，电子-核子散射中的单自旋不对称性，低能π-核子散射，该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
