``Mysteries of the Long Distance Structure of the Nucleon''

It is accepted that the proton's long distance structure is dominated by a meson cloud. The Standard Model (QCD) tells us that quark-antiquark (pairs) are essential to the structure of the proton. Recent experiments hint at interesting effects at long distance scales in nucleon structure. I will describe our MIT experiment, review the data and pose some questions.

Refreshments will be served in CP 155 at 3:15 PM
