===== Context =====

**Title** = From the quarks to the cosmos

**Abstract**
<blockquote>
The Quantum chromodynamics (QCD) Lagrangian, which is part of the Standard Model of Nuclear and
Particle Physics, describes interactions among quarks and gluons. These fundamental particles are bound
inside protons, neutrons and other hadrons, yet are never seen directly in nature. Empirical evidence
suggests that QCD is a robust theory; however, it does not directly describe how quarks and gluons make
up protons, neutrons, and ultimately atomic nuclei. We utilize electron scattering experiments to
understand the evolution from quarks and gluons to protons and neutrons. CEBAF at Jefferson
Laboratory produces a highly polarized, high-luminosity, 12 GeV electron beam to study this
fundamental question of nuclear physics. In this talk, I will describe results from experiments today,
where they will lead in the future, and their connections to the cosmos in which we all live. 
</blockquote>
