The overall research effort aims to advance the fundamental understanding of the structure of nucleons and the strong nuclear interaction that binds protons and neutrons through studies utilizing polarized photon, electron, and pion beams at facilities in the U.S. and abroad. The findings have the potential to shed light on key questions about how quarks and gluons self-assemble to form the observed properties of nucleons.
