Raymond G. Arnold

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Raymond George Arnold (* 1942 ) is an American experimental nuclear physicist at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC).

Life

Arnold studied at the Alaska Methodist University in Anchorage (now Alaska Pacific University ) with a bachelor's degree in 1964 and received his doctorate in 1972 from Boston University under Edward Booth . As a post-doctoral student he was with Benson Chertok at the American University in Washington DC and did research at SLAC , where he studied the structure of light nuclei such as helium and the deuteron and heavier nuclei with electron scattering. In the 1980s and 1990s he investigated the quark structure of nucleons and nuclei with electron scattering at the SLAC, where he was group leader or speaker of the experiments. For example, he determined the deeply inelastic spin structure functions of protons and neutrons with the scattering of polarized electrons and targets.

For his experiments, which suggested a connection between nuclear physics, quantum chromodynamics and the quark image, Arnold received the Tom W. Bonner Prize for nuclear physics in 2000 . He is a fellow of the American Physical Society . He was also a consultant with the Jefferson Lab .
