个人简介
Kenneth Hicks does research in the area of experimental nuclear physics. Before coming to Ohio University (OU), Ken Hicks was a Research Scientist at Canada's largest proton accelerator, in beautiful Vancouver. While visiting his family in Ohio, he interviewed at OU and decided he liked everything about it: the campus, the people and the opportunity to teach students. While it was a difficult decision to leave Vancouver, now he is happily living in Athens and teaching at OU.
His primary research interest is the interaction of quarks and how they combine to make strongly-interacting particles (like the proton). To investigate the structure of these particles, he uses accelerated beams of electrons (or photons) which hit targets of protons or neutrons. From the scattering angles and intensities of particles produced from these collisions, the force between quarks can be studied. Of special interest are searches for "exotic" particles that do not fit into the standard model of constituent quarks. One example of an exotic particle is the "pentaquark," which has its lowest valence structure made from four quarks and one anti-quark. Hicks has written several review articles on searches for pentaquarks, which have so far eluded experimental confirmation, but would extend our understanding of quarks if they could be found. He carries out his research at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility in Virginia and the Super Photon ring at 8 GeV (SPring-8) in Japan.
