Research Summary

Professor Matthews' research interests are in within the area of Intermediate-energy nuclear physics with electromagnetic and hadronic probes -- experiments at the MIT-Bates Linear Accelerator Center and the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center. Her work also involves:

(*) studies of the few-nucleon problem;
(*) inelastic processes in the neutron-proton system;
(*) dynamics of meson scattering and charge exchange; and
(*) short-range, high-momentum, mesonic, and quark effects in nuclei.
