From Quarks to Hadrons to Nuclei
The strong nuclear force is one of the fundamental interactions that governs how most of the matter in the universe is held together. This force is responsible for the binding of quarks into hadrons like the proton and neutron as well as the binding of protons and neutrons into the atomic nuclei.
The Canisius College Medium Energy Nuclear Physics (CMENP) group at Canisius College is actively studying the propeties of the strong nuclear force. The current activities are investigating hadrons in nuclei. The group is an active collaborator at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility or Jefferson Lab (JLab) which is a Department of Energy national laboratory located in Newport news, VA. Presently, the group is involved with experiments in Hall B.
This page has links to the projects actively being pursued.
