Andrew J. R. Puckett, Associate Professor, Department of Physics
Professor Puckett is an experimental nuclear/particle physicist studying the internal structure of strongly interacting matter in high-energy fixed-target electron-nucleon and electron-nucleus scattering experiments at Jefferson Lab (JLab). The recently completed 12 GeV upgrade of JLab's Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility to a maximum beam energy of 11 GeV (12 GeV) for electron-beam (photon-beam) experiments, augmented by state-of-the-art target and detector systems, will enable a world-leading physics program leading to three-dimensional imaging of the internal quark structure of protons, neutrons and nuclei with unprecedented precision in both coordinate and momentum space. The ultimate goal of the experiments is to understand how strongly interacting matter is built from its elementary quark and gluon constituents in terms of Quantum Chromodynamics, the theory of the strong interaction.

SBS Installation in Hall A at Jefferson Lab, July 2021
Professor Andrew Puckett’s research group is currently leading, as part of a collaboration of approximately 100 scientists from approximately 30 US and international institutions, the installation in Jefferson Lab’s Experimental Hall A of the first of a series of planned experiments known as the Super BigBite Spectrometer (SBS) Program, with beam to Hall A tentatively […]
[Read More]SBS SIDIS experiment (E12-09-018) jeopardy proposal re-approved by PAC49
Experiment E12-09-018 (the SBS SIDIS experiment) in Jefferson Lab’s Hall A, first approved by JLab PAC38 for 64 beam-days with an “A-” scientific rating in 2011, was evaluated under the Jefferson Lab Program Advisory Committee’s jeopardy process, which periodically reconsiders the approval status, beam time allocation, and scientific rating of experiments which have been approved […]

Scientific Communication
As scientists, we must be able to communicate our results to a variety of audiences, both technical and general. This is a difficult skill to learn, but it is well worth the effort. It will be a huge advantage as you progress in your career -- for resume writing, interview presentations, and paper and proposal writing. In this talk, I describe aspects of this issue in the context of writing a paper or preparing a talk.Contact Information: Prof. V. Kharchenko
