Experimental nuclear physics covers a broad range of topics, including low-energy experiments for nuclear structure and astrophysics applications, and medium-energy experiments to study the structure of the nucleon (protons and neutrons) and quark dynamics of bound states. The experimental nuclear physics group at Ohio University is involved in a broad range of programs in these areas at facilities around the world, seeking answers that are at the forefront of the quest to understand the structure of matter and the fundamental forces of nature.
Current experimental projects:
- Nuclear structure and nuclear astrophysics
- Nucleon electro-weak structure (P. King and J. Roche).
- Photoroduction of strange quarks at CLAS (K. Hicks).
- Photoroduction of strange quarks at LEPS (K. Hicks).
- Nuclear structure and reactions (A. Schiller).
Facilities at which research is carried:
- BNL
- Edwards Accelerator: 4.5 MV Van de Graaf accelerator
- Oak Ridge National Laboratory
- NSCL at MSU
- TJNAF: 1-12 GeV polarized electron accelerator (Virginia, USA)
- TRIUMF
Associated faculty:
Brune, Grimes, Hicks, King, Massey, Roche, Schiller.
