The Lab is pursuing three major research topics.
Structure of the Nucleus
In this simple view of a nucleus, quarks (red, blue and green) inside three nucleons are interacting by exchanging particles. Larger version.

Quarks are difficult to study, because the force that binds quarks together (through the exchange of gluons) is so strong that we observe them only when they are combined into larger, composite particles, such as protons and neutrons. So if we wanted to measure the size of these smallest building blocks of matter, how would we do it?
