Electromagnetic Structure of Hadrons and Hypernuclei

Hampton University, Hampton VA

Investigators

Abstract

This award will provide support for several experimental research activities based at Jefferson Laboratory in Newport News, VA. These include: (1) a measurement of the neutral pion lifetime, which will provide a quantitative test of predictions of quantum chromodynamics; (2) tests of so-called parton-hadron duality in inelastic electron scattering from the proton; (3) electromagnetic production of strange particles and hypernuclei. These efforts will involve strong participation by students and postdoctoral researchers from underrepresented groups.
