Nuclear and Particle Physics Theory

The nuclear physics group carries out research in the low to medium-energy range at national and international facilities, including JLab, ORNL, FNAL, PSI, and the future EIC. Two main thrusts of the group are testing of the fundamental symmetries of the Standard Model and studying the nucleon and the nuclear structure and quantum chromodynamics. The group is also leading major instrumentation efforts such as detector upgrades at JLab, maintaining and upgrading polarized targets for JLab and FNAL, and detector R&D for the EIC.

Nuclear and Particle Physics Talks:
  Simonetta Liuti   Liuti: Professor Liuti´s research involves theoretical studies of the quark and gluon internal dynamics of the proton. The fundamental interactions of quarks and gluons are governed by the beautifully concise Lagrangian of quantum chromodynamics (QCD), however, to be able to understand the mechanisms generating the proton mass, spin and mechanical properties in terms of quarks and gluons is one of the biggest challenges in physics today. Professor Liuti's work has been focused on understanding how the nucleon gets its spin from its fundamental ... More>
  Diana Vaman   Vaman: My research in theoretical particle physics is based on string theory, and I am especially interested in the connections between gauge and string theories. More>
