Relativistic electron and neutrino scattering off of light nuclei

Professor Wayne Polyzou

I will give an informal talk on some aspects of relativistic scattering of electrons and neutrinos off of a Deuteron target. I will discuss what is meant by relativistic quantum mechanics of particles (as opposed to fields), how to make realistic relativistic dynamical modes of few hadron systems, dynamical constraints on electroweak currents, the role of S-matrix preserving unitary transformations on the structure two body currents, and current work on constructing dynamical current operators.
