Meson-Nucleon dynamics and hadron structure
EF 2008-09
Résumé
The objective of the proposed research proposal is to continue with a program of testing the Standard Model of particles and their interactions through experiments designed to probe Quantum Chromodynamics (or QCD), the theory of the strong nuclear force. This will be done at the Mainz Microtron electron accelerator, which is part of the Institute for Nuclear Physics on the Johannes Gutenberg University campus in Mainz, Germany. The accelerator is capable of delivering a polarized, high-energy photon beam which we then shoot at various polarized and unpolarized targets (such as hydrogen or helium nuclei), allowing us to study the structure of sub-atomic particles called hadrons (particles made of quarks). One specific measurement which we intend to carry out will examine the internal structure the S11 nucleon resonance by measuring its magnetic dipole moment, which we can then compare with calculations based on different models of QCD.
