Feature Story: Exploring the nuclear “glue”

Abstract

After 15 years of planning and preparation there is now a lot of action at an international research project at the Jefferson Lab Accelerator in Newport News, Virginia – and the University of Regina is participating. “The project now is in the full-detector commissioning mode, using the ‘engineering beam’ data. This means electrons and photons are being ‘shot’ into the full detector,” explains Dr. Zisis Papandreou, a professor of Physics at the University of Regina.
