[PAST EVENT] Physics Colloquium - Dr. Malace
February 24, 2016
4pm - 5pm
Abstract:
The nucleon has been a laboratory for studying the strong interactions for decades. The investigation of its quark and gluon structure ultimately led to a fascinating and complicated picture that is still subject of vigorous, fundamental research. In this talk I will discuss the nucleon puzzle: from early explorations that brought us the knowledge of what nucleons are made of (stepping stone) to today's theoretical and experimental efforts > directed at acquiring exhaustive knowledge about the nucleon dynamics (milestone). I will present an upcoming experimental program at Jefferson Laboratory that will take measurements of electron-nucleon scattering cross sections to contribute to a precise characterization of nucleons in terms of their fundamental constituents.
