...Our goal is to understand the structure and symmetries of strongly interacting matter through both experimental and theoretical investigation...

Our group's research focus is the development of a detailed understanding of the structure and interactions of hadrons in terms of their fundamental constituents, quarks and gluons. We are involved in experiments at HIGS , Jefferson Lab , PSI , RHIC , and SNS (ORNL) , and mesons. Our theory group studies how hadronic effects impact the study of the violation of fundamental symmetries in nature, such as the violation of CP symmetry in the B-meson sector.
