Daniel Dale

My research interests involve the use of electromagnetic probes (photons and electrons) to study mesons and baryons at the quark level. I was part of the collaboration which built the Moeller polarimeter for Hall A of the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facilty (TJNAF). This device has been used in a variety of experiments to measure parity violating electron scattering on the proton, the electric form factor of the proton, and polarization effects in complex nuclei. I am currently spokesperson for two experiments to measure properties of the neutral pi meson as fundamental tests of quantum chromodynamics. One experiment will use the Hall A Moeller polarimeter as a small angle spectrometer, and the other will use the Hall B photon tagging facility.
