Research projects of the Center's members are carried out in collaboration with colleagues from around the world, with experiments taking place at several North American and European laboratories.

Many of the current and future projects are geared to the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (JLab) at Newport News, VA. JLab is the world's premier electron accelerator for nuclear physics, and GW is one of the charter members of the governing body of JLab, the Southeastern Universities Research Association (SURA).

CNS physics faculty have been involved in the planning of JLab from the very beginning. Currently, CNS members are co-spokespersons for six approved JLab experiments.

Other experiments under GW leadership are being carried out at the Mainz Microtron in Germany and at MAX-lab in Lund, Sweden.

Narrow Nucleon Resonances:
Predictions - Evidences - Perspectives

June 8-10, 2009
Edinburgh, Scotland

Contact: I. Strakovsky

This international conference will focus on recent advances in baryon spectroscopy with particular focus on the recent indications for the existence of narrow nucleon resonances from analysis of pion scattering and meson photoproduction data.

Leading experimentalists and theorists from the US, Europe and Asia will come together to assess the current status and future plans in this area.
