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:
The JAM collaboration involves theoretical physicists, experimental physicists, and computer scientists from the Jefferson Lab community using QCD to study the internal quark and gluon structure of hadrons. The people involved in recent and ongoing JAM analyses include:
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.
