U.S.-Poland Research on Deep Inelastic Muon Scattering (Physics)

这项美国-波兰合作研究项目由华盛顿大学的亨利·卢巴蒂博士和克拉科夫核物理研究所的安德烈·埃斯克瑞斯博士合作完成，主要目的是通过研究介子的深度非弹性散射来增强我们对核子结构函数的理解。这将通过研究夸克的动量分布及其在核物质中的相互作用来完成。研究人员将使用流光室，记录从碰撞顶点发出的带电粒子的轨迹，并允许确定顶点以及测量低能粒子的动量。这些努力应该会产生详细和可靠的数据，有助于建立夸克相互作用的现实理论模型。这个基本粒子物理项目通过使美国和东欧的专家能够在彼此感兴趣和能力很强的领域互补人才和汇集研究资源，实现了促进科学知识发展的计划目标。

The primary objective of this U. S.-Poland cooperative research project between Dr. Henry Lubatti of the University of Washington and Dr. Andrzej Eskreys of the Institute of Nuclear Physics, Krakow, is to enhance our understanding of nucleon structure functions by studying deep-inelastic scattering of muons. This will be done by investigating the momentum distributions of quarks and their interactions in nuclear matter. The researchers will employ a streamer chamber which records the trajectories of the charged particles emanating from the collision vertex and permits determin- ation of a vertex point as well as measurement of the momenta of the low energy particles. These efforts should yield detailed and reliable data useful in building realistic, theoretical models for quark interactions. This project in elementary particle physics fulfills the program objective of advancing scientific knowledge by enabling experts in the United states and Eastern Europe to complementary talents and pool research resources in areas of strong mutual interest and competence.
