The central goal is to determine the role played by quarks, mesons and nucleons in the making of nuclear and nucleon systems. As part of the program, novel instrumental modalities are developed as needed. These have included particle detection and precision tracking, particle polarimetry, cryogenic targetry and particle spectrometry. In addition to Professor Bertozzi, the Nuclear Interactions Group includes approximately five Ph.D. research staff members and ten graduate students. The research is emphasized as an important component of graduate education.
Undergraduate participation is encouraged.
