CEBAF turns on the charm

DOE/Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility
Peer-Reviewed Publication

The world's most advanced particle accelerator for investigating the quark structure of the atom's nucleus has just charmed physicists with a new capability. The production of charm quarks in J/ψ (J/psi) particles by CEBAF at the Department of Energy's Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility confirms that the facility has expanded the realm of precision nuclear physics research with electron beams to higher energies.

Correlated nucleons may solve 35-year-old mystery

DOE/Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility
Peer-Reviewed Publication

A careful re-analysis of data taken at DOE's Jefferson Lab has revealed a possible link between correlated protons and neutrons in the nucleus and a 35-year-old mystery. The data have led to the extraction of a universal function that describes the EMC Effect, the once-shocking discovery that quarks inside nuclei have lower average momenta than predicted, and supports an explanation for the effect.
