Description
The extraction of the size and structure of hadrons/nuclei is an essential activity having its solid place in frontiers of modern nuclear physics research. Given this fact, we believed that it would be quite timely and relevant to help organize a loose collaboration of physicists, interested in working together closely to overcome the hadronic and nuclear size/structure challenges. As such, Nuclear Radius Extraction Collaboration (NREC) was created two years ago. One of the NREC's goals is to provide a platform for information exchange to find synergies between various groups, which carry out extraction of nucleon form factors, radii and related quantities. Our focus also goes to a wider field including weak/strong/gravitational form factors, other radii of particles beyond the nucleon, including conventional/non-conventional mesons, baryons, light and heavy nuclei, etc.. In this talk, we will provide an overview of NREC and discuss a possible synergy between some of the overlapping goals of JLab PWG and NREC. For example, reliable extraction of radiative corrections including the two photon exchange is an important research area to be considered as an example of such a synergy.
