Our son, Timothy Hayward, is finally ready to complete his PHD from The College of William & Mary in Theoretical Nuclear Physics. Here is the cover page and 1st paragraph. Note that HIS name is first on the list of collaborators from around the world & he is the youngest of the lot. . We are beyond proud of this young man!! Ghost. ( Father of Son of Ghost.)

(Dated: January 5, 2021) Our son writes.....

The observation of beam spin asymmetries in two-pion production in semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering off an unpolarized proton target is reported for the first time. The data presented here were taken in the fall of 2018 with the CLAS12 spectrometer using a 10.6 GeV longitudinally spin polarized electron beam delivered by CEBAF at JLab. The measured asymmetries provide the first observation of a signal that can be used to extract the PDF e(x) in a collinear framework and the helicity-dependent two-pion fragmentation function G ⊥ 1 .
Keywords: dihadron; beam spin asymmetry; SIDIS; CLAS12; twist-3 PDF; dihadron fragmentation function Protons and neutrons constitute most of the visible matter of the universe, however our understanding of how some of their most important properties, such as mass and spin, emerge from the strong interactions of the constituent quarks and gluons is still incomplete.

Therefore, the study of the internal dynamics of the nucleon is fundamental to our understanding of the theory of strong interactions and, by extension, our understanding of the nature of matter itself.

There are eight more pages of stuff we cant comprehend. lol. But it LOOKS great!

Now that's to cool!! Congratulations!!
 
Congratulations! it’s definitely a great honor to have a child with such a gift.
Hopefully he makes good use of it.
 
The boy is only 27 years old. The rest of his collaborators are twice that and some are octogenarians. He entered college as a freshman at age 15.

Well, that depends on what one thinks is the right, or most useful way of putting that knowledge to work. For him personally he will have nothing at all to do with the government or the military. Both of which have been courting him since age 14. They have offered him just about everything but the kitchen sink, and he has turned them down flat. So far. He intends to continue research at, and for, a large university. He wants to further the understanding of the universe, the unification of the Grand Theories and the understanding of space / time as it relates to human kind. You know...just fooling about...lol.. This paper amounts to him having noticed, at the age of 16, that there was a discrepancy in spin behaviors. All of this world wide collaboration came out of that. This is his project all of the way. He took his observations and created all of this in order to prove he was right. In doing so he has brought forth a new dynamic in particle physics heretofore unnoticed by anyone. Including Einstein. That's how monumental this work is.
 
Terrific that's quite an achievement. I'm sure he will do well wherever he ends up.
Perhaps he can solve high temperature superconductivity?

My older son has similar interests he'll get his masters this spring in Physics.
He's been working on designing and building parts for a particle accelerator for years now.
Just loves the Theoretical stuff, well beyond my comprehension.
But can't find his shoes.
Oh and he's a two time USIBA champion boxer as well.
 
Congratulations to him. (and to a very proud Dad)
 
Congrats !! Any Phd is laudable. But one in Physics demonstrates an intellect that is very special ( I have an undergrad degree in Physics and barely followed the opening of his paper). Keep us posted on when he's nominated for the Nobel Prize in Physics !!!!!
 
Yup, Congratulations Chief!
You and family should be so very proud of him and yourselves, non-failed parenting!
