Studies of QCD at the Intersection of the Perturbative and Non-Perturbative Regimes
- Univ. of Virginia, Charlottesville, VA (United States). Physics Dept.
New sets of spin observables and relations/sum rules were developed that could be tested in a class of experiments including exclusive deeply virtual electron and neutrino proton/nucleus scattering. Advancements in the phenomenology for the following outstanding problems at the next QCD frontier of nuclear physics were obtained: (1) the origin of the proton spin and its decomposition into quark and gluon spin and orbital angular momentum components; (2) the size of the hadronic matrix elements entering processes at the Intensity Frontier, from neutron and nuclear beta decay, to the experimental extraction of the neutron Electric Dipole Moment; (3) Monitoring the transition of quarks and gluons into protons, neutrons and pions to form the atomic nucleus.
