The group uses photo-nuclear reactions with incident photon energies from 300 MeV to 12 GeV to test fundamental symmetries of nature, and to test predictions of low-energy quantum chromodynamics (QCD). The group currently works at Jefferson Lab in Newport News VA, and at the MAMI accelerator at Johannes Gutenburg University in Mainz, Germany.
