CNR Nuclear Experimental Program
CNR activities in nuclear experiment include the following:
-
Development of neutron detectors and neutron polarimeters.
-
Pattern recognition software for charged-particle tracking detectors.
-
Measurement of fundamental structure functions of the neutron and proton.
-
Measurement of meson photoproduction.
-
Phases of nuclear matter, including the search for Quark Gluon Plasma, using heavy ions and 4 pi detectors.
-
Nuclear structure and nuclear reaction mechanisms using electron and hadron beams.
Experiments are performed at various national accelerator facilities, including:
- (formerly CEBAF).
- (MAMI).
- (RHIC) at Brookhaven.
Kent State is part of several large experimental collaborations, including Hall A (at JLab), (at Brookhaven), and Crystal Ball and A2 (at Mainz, Germany).
