When coupled to numerically accurate quantum Monte Carlo and hyperspherical harmonics methods, the deceptively simple picture put forward by the basic model leads to a quantitatively successful description of the structure and dynamics of light nuclei. In this talk, I will review the origin and evolution of the basic model, provide a status report on studies of low-lying spectra and electroweak response at low energy (radiative and weak transitions) and intermediate energy (electron and neutrino quasi-elastic scattering), and conclude with an outlook into future applications of the basic model. </span></p><p style="margin: 0px;" data-mce-style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;" data-mce-style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"> </span></p><p style="margin: 0px;" data-mce-style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;" data-mce-style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"> </span></p><p style="text-align: center; margin: 0px;" data-mce-style="text-align: center; margin: 0px;"><strong><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;" data-mce-style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Friday, October 20, 2017</span></strong></p><p style="text-align: center; margin: 0px;" data-mce-style="text-align: center; margin: 0px;"><strong><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;" data-mce-style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">11:00am</span></strong></p><p style="text-align: center; margin: 0px;" data-mce-style="text-align: center; margin: 0px;"><strong><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;" data-mce-style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">CEBAF Auditorium</span></strong></p><p style="text-align: center; margin: 0px;" data-mce-style="text-align: center; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;" data-mce-style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"> </span></p></div><div><br></div><div data-marker="__SIG_POST__">-- <br></div><div>Stephanie Tysor<br>Hall A Administrative Assistant<br>Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility<br>(office)757-269-6005 (fax)757-269-5235</div></div></body></html>
