Research Board. The proposal consists of three main parts: 1) nucleon structure study via DrellYan process using a negative pion beam and transversely polarized proton target 2)nucleon structure study in exclusive positive and negative muon beam scattering off the unpolarized proton target 3)test of the chiral perturbative theory predictions via reactions of Primakoff scattering using hadron beam.

This article is concerned with the use of quasielastic neutron scattering as a technique for investigation of the dynamical properties of proton conducting oxides. Currently, the main interest in these materials comes from their promise as electrolytes in future electrochemical devices and particularly through their use as electrolytes in next-generation, intermediate-temperature, fuel cells. H...

We report on a calculation of one-loop weak corrections to polarized quark-gluon scattering and the corresponding crossed channels. Such contributions are suppressed formally by one power of αs relative to W− or Z−mediated quark-quark scattering, but would enable the spin asymmetry of the gluon distribution to contribute to parity-violating asymmetries that will soon be investigated in polarize...

We summarize the lessons learned from studies of hard scattering processes in high–energy electron–proton collisions at HERA and antiproton–proton collisions at the Tevatron, with the aim of predicting new strong interaction phenomena observable in next–generation experiments at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Processes reviewed include inclusive deep–inelastic scattering (DIS) at small x, exc...

Hospital-based proton facilities may represent a major advance in radiation therapy, in part because of excellent dose distributions around the tumor, and in part because of the potentially lower whole-body dose compared with photon radiotherapy. Most current proton beams are spread out to cover the tumor using beam scattering and collimation techniques (passive scattering); this will necessari...

Detailed study of the nucleons is very important to understand the nucleus. Electron-Proton scattering is the best tool to probe the nucleus and hence deep into it. In the One-Photon exchange (Born) approximation, the structure of the nucleon characterized by electric and magnetic form factors, GE(Q ) and GM(Q ), which depend only on momentum transfer squared, Q. At Q=0, the proton form factors...
