[en] The George Washington University nuclear theory group proposes to conduct investigations of the structure and electromagnetic interactions of few-body systems. The structural properties of the very light nuclei are examined by developing theoretical models that begin from the basic interactions between the constituents and that are solved exactly (numerically), i.e., full three or four-body dynamics. Such models are then used in an attempt to understand the details of the strong and electromagnetic interactions of the few-nucleon nuclei after the basic underlying reaction mechanisms are understood with simpler models. Examples of specific work proposed are the following: (1) From exact four-body dynamics, derive the equations that will permit calculation of the ⁴He→³He+n and ⁴He→d+d asymptotic normalization constants; (2) Develop a unified picture of the p + d → ³He = γ, p + d → ³He = π⁰ , p + d → ³H + π⁺ reactions at intermediate energies; (3) Calculate the elastic and inelastic (1⁺→0⁺) form factors for ⁶Li with three-body (αNN) wave functions; (4) Calculate static properties (RMS radius, magnetic moment, and quadrupole moment) of ⁶Li with three-body wave functions; and (5) Develop the theory for the coincidence reactions ⁶Li(p,2p)nα, ⁶Li(e,e'p)nα, and ⁶Li(e,e'd)α. It is anticipated that these efforts will expand the frontiers of our knowledge about few-body nuclei
