One of the top 10 unsolved problems in physics is the nature of the strong force where quark confinement dominates. I.E. it is poorly understood how quark and gluon interactions lead to the observed structure of nuclear matter. We are seeking motivated graduate students to join our experiments, which will take data with unprecedented accuracy, leading to a better understanding of the underlying quark-gluon structure of these particles. The research involves highly-ranked experiments of pion, kaon form factors at Jefferson Laboratory (USA), and of proton, neutron polarizabilities at Mainz Microtron (Germany). We are also contributing detectors for the Solenoidal Large Intensity Device (SoLID) at Jefferson Lab, and performing studies for a future Electron-Ion Collider. Our graduate program enables students to quickly start their research upon admission, acquiring significant computing and hardware skills, leading to well-rounded scientists, with good critical thinking, leadership and teamwork skills.
