Support for the Operation of the Nuclear Structure Research Laboratory (Physics)

这笔赠款支持罗切斯特大学核结构研究实验室使用新升级的MP串联Van de Graaff加速器、各种实验设备和独特的反冲质谱仪进行的研究。实验将包括库仑激发的核形状的研究，重离子诱导的转移反应，微秒时间尺度上的核同分异构体的研究，缺乏中子的核的光谱，特别是轻氪的同种类型，超弦相互作用，重离子反应中相关的双光子衰变，7Li诱导的反应中的分裂过程，亚势垒转移，以及重离子反应机理的研究。此外，加速器质谱学将在广泛的领域进行研究，包括地质学、水文学、宇宙化学、老骨头的Ca-41测年、材料研究和核反应截面。其中一些工作涉及与外部用户的广泛合作。

This grant supports research using the newly upgraded MP tandem Van de Graaff accelerator, a variety of experimental equipment, and a unique recoil mass spectrometer, at the University of Rochester's Nuclear Structure Research Laboratory. Experiments will include studies of nuclear shapes by Coulomb excitation, of heavy-ion induced transfer reactions, of nuclear isomers on a microsecond timescale, the spectroscopy of neutron deficient nuclei particularly the light krypton isotypes, of hyperine interactions, of correlated two photon decay in heavy-ion reactions, of breakup processes in 7Li- induced reactions, of sub-barrier transfer, and of heavy ion reaction mechanisms. In addition, accelerator mass spectrometry will be investigated in a wide variety of fields including geology, hydrology, cosmochemistry, Ca-41 dating of old bones, materials research and nuclear reaction cross sections. Some of the work involves extensive collaborations with outside users.
