Graduate Students:
An ambitious program to better understand the underlying quark-gluon structure of the nuclear constituents is underway. The experiments are sufficiently large for students to gain experience working in an international collaboration, yet small enough to be exposed to nearly every aspect of the research work. This allows students to become well-rounded scientists, capable of critical thinking, leadership and teamwork in their future careers.
Studies with Polarized Protons and Photons in Mainz, Germany.
We are involved in several experiments with the A2 Collaboration, including the
extraction of all four of the proton's spin polarizabilities for the first
time, and studies of nucleon resonance amplitudes.
Proton spin polarizabilities are fundamental observables of proton structure,
and are sensitive to the internal dynamics of the internal QCD constituents
that make up the proton's spin. Research would
include data analysis and simulations performed in Canada, and laboratory work
in Germany. For more details see the research page.
Studies of the QCD Transition Regime at Jefferson Lab, USA.
We lead several electron scattering experiments and detector development
projects in Hall C of Jefferson Lab. This will become the only facility in the
world capable of studying deep exclusive reactions up to Q^2=15 GeV^2, to
better understand the short-long range transition of QCD and the origin of
quark confinement. Research would include
simulations, detector work, and data analysis. The student may also have the
opportunity to contribute to other hardware and software projects in Hall C.
Application Information.
- In subatomic physics, it is essential that you enjoy research in a collaborative setting, where you are responsible for the progress of your individual project, and interact frequently with the larger research group.
- It is valuable for applicants to have a good understanding of quantum mechanics and electrodynamics, as well as programming experience in c++ or fortran.
- Funding support is available to all successful applicants.
- Information on the university's formal application procedure can be obtained here. Foreign applicants are typically required to write either the TOEFL or IELTS English proficiency exams.
