The group focuses on studies of spin effects in highly polarized proton, neutron, and deuteron targets. These polarized scattering experiments use the world-class solid polarized targets, which are developed and tested right here in our Lab. We concentrate on experiments that use spin degrees of freedom (i.e. using polarized targets and beams) with photon, electron, and nucleon beams on nucleon targets to extract new information about the properties of the fundamental building blocks of nature.
