My research is focussed on the
experimental program at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator
Laboratory to explore the quark nature of matter.
We now know that quarks are the fundamental constituents of matter,
but we do not understand how they bind together to form
protons, neutrons, and atomic nuclei. For more
details go to the following links.
My research interests are in electromagnetic nuclear physics at the
Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility,
and are focussed on the experimental program with the CEBAF Large Acceptance
Spectrometer in
Hall B. The basic
goal of this research is to explore and elucidate the quark structure of
matter. Check out the following links for more information on my work at
Jefferson Lab.
My experiments are designed to
probe and study hadronic structure in an energy regime
that is close to the real world. We have experiments that
look for exotic objects such as
Glueballs, as well as experiments that try to study the
strangeness content of ordinary matter.

I am participating in experiments at the 6-GeV electron accelerator at
Jefferson Lab in Newport News which will extend photodisintegration
measurements and pion photoproduction experiments to much higher energies
where the implications of quantum chromodynamics can be studied.
Other experiments at TJNAF include a test of the Drell Hearn Sum rule
and vector meson photoproduction.
