Intermediate Energy Nuclear Physics (Exp.)

Research Interests

My research work is focused on studies of chiral symmetry and isospin symmetry. This includes investigations of chiral symmetry breaking via the muon capture reaction and isospin symmetry breaking via pion charge exchange reaction. The work uses muon beams and pion beams at the Triumf Meson Factory in Vancouver, Canada.
