Introduction<br />
We know QCD works, but <strong>the</strong>re is<br />
no consensus on how it works<br />
pQCD mechanisms dominate<br />
at high energies and small<br />
distances<br />
what energy is high enough<br />
for pQCD to be unambiguously<br />
applicable<br />
A Sample <strong>of</strong> Questions under Investigation<br />
+ What is <strong>the</strong> mechanism <strong>of</strong> confinement?<br />
+ Where does <strong>the</strong> q-q interaction make a transition from <strong>the</strong> confinement<br />
to <strong>the</strong> perturbative QCD regime (understand N-N force in terms <strong>of</strong> QCD)?<br />
+ How does <strong>the</strong> nucleon shape, mass, spin etc come about from <strong>the</strong><br />
quarks/anti-quarks and gluons (How hadrons are constructed)?<br />
+ Do quarks and gluons play any direct role in <strong>Nuclear</strong> Matter?<br />
Exploring <strong>the</strong>se questions is part <strong>of</strong> JLab's scientific mission
