Quantum Chromodynamics, the theory of quarks and gluons, whose interactions can be
described by a local SU (3) gauge symmetry with charges called “color quantum numbers” …

1 Executive summary The purpose of this document is to outline the developing scientific
case for pursuing an energy upgrade to 22 GeV of the Continuous Electron Beam …

We summarize the ongoing scientific program of the 12 GeV Continuous Electron Beam
Accelerator Facility (CEBAF) and give an outlook into future opportunities. The program …

This article reviews our current understanding of how the internal quark structure of a
nucleon bound in nuclei differs from that of a free nucleon. The interpretation of …

Neutrinos exist in one of three types or 'flavours'—electron, muon and tau neutrinos—and
oscillate from one flavour to another when propagating through space. This phenomena is …

The atomic nucleus is made of protons and neutrons (nucleons), which are themselves
composed of quarks and gluons. Understanding how the quark–gluon structure of a nucleon …

The protons and neutrons in a nucleus can form strongly correlated nucleon pairs.
Scattering experiments, in which a proton is knocked out of the nucleus with high …

High-energy electron scattering is a clean, precise probe for measurements of hadronic and
nuclear structure and plays a key role in understanding the role of high-momentum nucleons …

While mean-field approximations, such as the nuclear shell model, provide a good
description of many bulk nuclear properties, they fail to capture the important effects of …

The ratios of inclusive electron scattering cross sections of He 4, C 12, and Fe 56 to He 3
have been measured at 1< x B< 3. At Q 2> 1.4 GeV 2, the ratios exhibit two separate …
