The main progress concerned nucleon form factors, charge symmetry breaking, parity violation, nuclear deep inelastic scattering, skewed or off-forward parton distributions, and relativistic heavy ion physics.
The work on the nucleon form factor received widespread attention. An invited talk at the Philadelphia APS meeting led to publication of articles about the work in the New York Times, New Scientist, Focus, and Nuclear News with more publications expected.
I also participated in an experiment that successfully measured a cross section for a reaction that is forbidden by an approximate symmetry known as charge symmetry (the interchange of u and d quarks)[1]. This experiment successfully observed the cross section[2], which is a square of a ``forbidden matrix element''. This experiment also had an invited Philadelphia APS talk and a press conference. Wide attention was received, with publication in Science News and mention in Scientific American. I have been asked to write (and did write) a ``popular'' account that will appear in Physics World ( the British version of Physics Today)[3].
