Our research group explores the fundamental structure of matter by studying nuclear systems at their deepest level. Using high-energy electrons as precision probes, we investigate how protons and neutrons interact, how their internal building blocks (quarks and gluons) behave, and how these dynamics give rise to the world around us.
Research
Our group focuses on understanding the fundamental nature of matter using clean, high-energy electron probes, as well as the development of cutting-edge technologies. We conduct research on high-energy phenomena in nuclei at Jefferson Lab, where we are involved in the development of polarized target technologies. These technologies will enable unique measurements of the deuteron structure at Jefferson Lab, with a particular emphasis on studying the tensor component of the deuteron.
Additionally, we contribute to the ePIC detector for the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC). Our work includes the barrel hadron calorimeter (bHCAL) and Deep Virtual Meson Production (DVMP) studies, which aim to benchmark the performance of the current design. We also plan to initiate tensor studies to explore the feasibility of incorporating a polarized tensor beam into the EIC.
