The structure of Light Nuclei

Conference ·
OSTI ID:833149
In the last several years, tremendous advances both in experiment and theory have been made in understanding the structure of light nuclei. The experimental advances have benefited greatly from the new, high intensity CW machine (CEBAF) at Jefferson Lab and new experimental techniques utilizing polarization degrees of freedom at various laboratories. Tremendous progress has also been made in nuclear few-body theory, from a successful standard model of nuclear physics based on modern two-nucleon potentials as well as modern three-nucleon forces to the exact three-body calculation extended into the continuum by solving the corresponding Faddeev equations. In this talk, I will review recent experimental progress in understanding the structure of light nuclei focusing on the results of deuteron elastic form factors, deuteron tensor polarization, deuteron photodisintegration, and that of the 3He magnetic form factor.
