POSTDOCTORAL PHYSICIST
RUTGERS UNIVERSITY EXPERIMENTAL INTERMEDIATE ENERGY PHYSICS
A position as a postdoctoral physicist in the experimental
intermediate energy nuclear physics group at Rutgers University will be
available starting early in 1998. Applicants should send a resume to
Professor C. Glashausser
Physics and Astronomy
Rutgers University
136 Frelinghuysen Road
Piscataway, NJ 08855-8019
Applicants should also ask for three letters of recommendation which
should be sent to the same address.
The Rutgers group, supported by the National Science Foundation,
includes three faculty members (Ronald Gilman, Charles Glashausser, and
Ronald Ransome), one staff physicist, and a number of postdocs, graduate
students, and undergraduate students. The primary center of activity is
Jefferson Laboratory in Newport News, Virginia, where the group is a
memebr of the Hall A Collaboration and where the postdoc would be expected
to reside. Experiments are also scheduled for MAMI in Mainz, Germany.
Members of the group have been major participants in the construction of
focal plane polarimeters (FPP) for hadron spectrometers in Hall A at
Jefferson Lab and in Hall A1 at MAMI.
The first experiment using the Jefferson Lab polarimeter,
Exp. 89033, was successfully carried out this summer; it was also the
first experiment there which used a polarized electron beam. This
experiment, led by the Rutgers group, focussed on the determination of
the electromagnetic form factors of the proton in the nuclear medium.
FPP measurements of these form factors for both bound and free protons
over a large range of momentum transfer are planned. The Rutgers group
is also leading FPP measurements of proton polarization in the
photodisintegration of the deuteron and in pi zero photo-production on
the proton. The former is a test of the apparent scaling observed
in the cross section for this reaction; the group will also participate
in the high energy extension of the cross section measurements
planned for Hall C. Finally, we are members of the collaboration
for the polarized helium three target experiments which will begin next
fall with measurements related to the DHG sum rule.
Rutgers University is an equal opportunity employer. Applications
from women and minorities are especially welcome.
