[1] There he studied giant resonances of atomic nuclei with Texas A&M's cyclotron[4] and introduced a new technique of focal plane polarimetry[5] using a high-efficiency, high-resolution polarimeter in conjunction with an Enge[6] split-pole spectrograph.
[1][8] In 1986 Moss became the spokesperson for the E772 experiment at Fermilab, which involved dimuon production (i.e. of muon pairs via a Drell–Yan process and from charmonium decays) in high-energy proton-nucleus collisions with 800 GeV protons at the Tevatron.
[5][9][10][11] In particular, they obtained information about the antiquark distribution of sea quarks in the nucleons in the nuclei of hydrogen and deuterium targets and were able to study their dependence on the mass number of the nucleus.
In addition, the E772 science team gained evidence of charmonium and charm formation in nuclei from dimuon generation.
He participated in experiments at the PHENIX detector of the RHIC heavy ion accelerator to study high-energy nuclear collisions and the spin structure of the nucleon.
