The Spectator Tagging Project develops the capabilities for high-energy electron scattering experiments with polarized light ions (deuteron 2H, 3He) and detection of spectator nucleons (protons, neutrons) at a future Electron-Ion Collider (EIC). Such experiments address basic questions of nuclear and strong interaction physics:
Event generators and analysis tools for electron-deuteron collisions with spectator nucleon tagging are being developed for process simulations at EIC. The materials are presently organized in the following categories:
May built a career in physics focused on health and safety
When Bob May was a student at Virginia Tech in the 1970’s, the school was in the early stages of developing a curriculum that would include environment, safety and health aspects of ionizing radiation for science majors. Now, as the ES&H deputy director at Jefferson Lab, May can look to a decades-long history of involvement and leadership in the field of health physics that began when he was a student at Tech helping to pilot the first courses in his field.
