Hadrons in Nuclei

Description
co-host: Dave Gaskell
In the past decades, the study of hadrons in three dimensions has received a lot of attention and made significant progress using both the generalized parton distributions (GPDs) and the transverse momentum dependent (TMD) parton distribution functions. In this presentation, I will discuss how the GPDs can help us understand better nuclei in terms of quarks and gluons with a specific highlight...
The ability of current and next generation accelerator-based neutrino-oscillation measurements to reach their desired sensitivity requires a detailed understanding of neutrino-nucleus interactions. These include precise knowledge of the relevant cross sections and of our ability to reconstruct the incident neutrino energy from the measured final state particles. Incomplete understanding of...
The hadronization or fragmentation, where a struck quark transforms into color-neutral hadrons, is an effective tool to probe the confinement dynamics as well as the characteristic time-scales involved in the process. These time-scales elucidate our understanding of the color-neutralization and subsequent non-perturbative formation of the observed hadrons. This talk will report the first-ever...
Color transparency (CT) is a unique prediction of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) where the final (and/or initial) state interactions of hadrons with the nuclear medium are suppressed for exclusive processes at high momentum transfers.
During the spring of 2018, the experiment E1206107 to measure the Proton Transparency was the first to run in Hall C at Jefferson Lab using the upgraded 12 GeV...
The cross section for elastic electron-nucleus scattering is described by nuclear form factors: fundamental quantities that describe the spatial structure of the nucleus. By going to low energy and forward angle, the contributions of the magnetic form factor $G_M(Q^2)$ are minimized, which allows for an accurate extraction of the charge form factor $G_E(Q^2)$ without having to perform a...
