PHYS 787, Seminar Nuclear Physics, Ref. # 1326
Fall 2007, Hannan Hall 203
Thursday 12:10-1:00pm
NOTE: 1st meeting on
September 6th.
The weekly sessions will cover research topics
of the Experimental
Nuclear Physics Group (medium energy physics) at Jefferson Lab:
- Neutrino ascillations
- K0 Sigma+ photoproduction; omega
photoproduction (CLAS g11 and g8b
data of 2004/2005)
- Upcoming experiments with polarized photon beams and polarized
targets (FROST and HD at CLAS)
- Precision measurement of pi0 lifetime (Primex)
- GE, GM
measurements at Jefferson Lab
- Rosenbluth separation, recoil
polarization and two-photon-exchange
- parity violation: Happex, Qweak
- Coherent VM production and
color transparency
