POWRE: Measurement of the Electric and Magnetic Form Factors of the Neutron

该power奖提供的资金将使PI能够扩大在托马斯·杰斐逊核加速器设施（TJNF）发起的一项新的研究活动。该申请将允许PI参加TJNAF实验093-038，“中子的电和磁形状因子”，以进一步推进她的研究事业。这个实验解决了一个关于中子电荷结构本质的基本问题：中子内部组成夸克的空间分布是怎样的？这个问题在这个实验中是通过从氘中的中子准弹性散射纵向极化电子来解决的。该奖项由美国国家科学基金会POWRE项目、MPS理事会多学科活动办公室和物理部资助。

This POWRE award provides funding that would allow the PI to expand on the initiation of a new research activity at Thomas Jefferson Nuclear Accelerator Facility (TJNF). This proposal will allow the PI to participate in TJNAF experiment 093-038, 'The electric and Magnetic Form Factors of the Neutron' to further advance her research career. This experiment addresses a fundamental question regarding the nature of the charge structure of the neutron: What is the spatial distribution of the constituent quark within the neutron? The question is addressed in this experiment by scattering longitudinally polarized electrons quasi-elastically from a neutron in deuterium. The award is funded by the NSF POWRE program, the Office of Multidisciplinary Activities in the MPS Directorate, and the Physics Division.
