Summary on Grant Application Form |

The experiments at the Mainz microtron examine aspects of non-nucleonic degrees of fredom in nuclei and related questions concerning nucleon structure.The contributions of deltas and heavy mesons in the short range NN interaction will be examined in studies of ( ,NN) reactions and links with the quark-gluon picture of this interaction will be sought. The less well understood N interaction and the related question of delta propagation in nuclei will be studied via experiments on the ( ,N) reaction in light nuclei. An experiment on coherent production from the deuteron will also provide information on the N interaction.The structure of nucleons and isobars will be examined in two experiments. Polarisation transfer to the neutron in electron scattering will measure the neutron's charge distribution and photon scattering from nucleons over a wide energy range should give accurate information on the electric and magnetic polarisabilities of nucleons and also set a limit on the deformation of the delta.
