Ernest M. Henley
Research Interests:
The focus of my work continues to be related to symmetries, the
connection of quark-gluons to nucleons-mesons, and the changes
which occur to hadrons when placed in a nuclear medium. The motivations
are to study the restrictions placed by symmetries on theories
and models, to use symmetries to study structure, to learn of
the connection of QCD to nucleon-meson degrees of freedom, and
to study the effect of density on nucleons and mesons.
