Experimental Medium Energy Physics



The Experimental Medium Energy physics group at Carnegie Mellon University studies particle physics in the strong regime of QCD.
Our experiments are designed to probe and study hadronic structure in an energy regime that is close to the real world. We have carried out experiments that look for exotic objects such as the H dibaryon, and Glueballs, as well as experiments that try to study the strangeness content of ordinary matter. Currently, we are incolved in several programs at Jefferson Lab to measure several nucleon formfactors, as well as search for missing baryon states. Long term, we are building hardware for the GlueX Experiment



The search for QCD exotics

A recent article in American Scientist about the search for exotic mesons in the Hall D experiment at Jefferson Lab.


Our program is supported by the Office of Nuclear Physics in the Office of Science of the U.S. Department of Energy.
