Presently my interests are focused at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility using CEBAF.
I am the spokesperson of two newly approved experiments (94-010) entitled "Measurement of the Neutron (³He ) Spin Structure Function at Low Q²; a connection between the Bjorken and Drell-Hearn-Gerasimov sum rules" and (94-101) entitled "Precision Measurement of the Neutron Asymmetry Aⁿ₁ at Large x using CEBAF at 6 GeV". The first experiment was rated (A^-) and is the first priority of the Temple University group in its involvement at TJNAF. The experiment is presently running to the end of fall 1998 and was prepared during the spring and summer 1998. I was on leave of abscence from Temple university working on its preparation during the spring of 1998. The second experiment has been conditionally approved since it needs a 6 GeV or higher beam at TJNAF and therefore shall be performed later. We plan to resubmit this proposal for rating upgrade in the summer of 1999 PAC.

I am also co-spokesperson of experiment 89-019 entitled "Measurement of Proton Polarizations in the d(gamma,p)n reaction rated B⁺. The technical commitment of my group at TJNAF Hall A is to build a high pressure polarized ³He target for Hall A in collaboration with Princeton University, Caltech, MIT, University of Kentucky and Jefferson Lab. Temple University is providing a substantial fraction for the funds and man power needed to build the target.

The above described research is supported by the Department of Energy with a grant awarded to me as I started research at Stanford University beginning April 1988. As I moved to Temple University this grant was renewed for the next three years starting April 1994. Recently a renewal for another three year period has been approved starting April 1997. In this award DOE has approved a post-doctoral position in my group. The title of the proposal is "Research in Nuclear Physics using the Electromagnetic Probe" The people covered by this grant are Seonho Choi, Sebastien Incerti, Karl Slifer, and Z.-E. Meziani.
