Santiesteban Lab
Our research group is based at the University of New Hampshire. We focus on the study of the internal structure of nuclear systems using an electronic probe (electrons).
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.
