US-Hungary Studies of Low-Lying Magnetic Dipole and Electric Octupole Excitations in Nuclei (Physics)

美国肯塔基大学的Steve Yates博士和匈牙利科学院同位素研究所的Gabor Molnar博士合作开展的这项美国-匈牙利合作研究项目的主要目标是测量核的短寿命。研究人员将采用一种被称为多普勒频移衰减法的技术来跟踪非弹性中子散射反应。他们对N=50核的自旋翻转激发、变形稀土核的集体M1剪子态、八极子和多声子激发的合作研究应该会产生新的、高质量的光谱信息，在核结构物理领域具有特殊的内在价值。这个核物理领域的项目实现了推进科学知识的计划目标，使美国和东欧的顶尖专家能够在共同感兴趣和有能力的领域结合互补的人才和集中研究资源。//

The primary objective of this U.S.-Hungary cooperative research project between Dr. Steve Yates of the University of Kentucky and Dr. Gabor Molnar of the Institute of Isotopes, Hungarian Academy of Sciences, is to measure short nuclear lifetimes. The researchers will employ a technique known as the Doppler-Shift attenuation method to follow inelastic neutron scattering reactions. Their collaborative studies of spin-flip excitations in N=50 nuclei, of collective M1 scissors mode states in deformed rare earth nuclei, and of octupole and multiphonon excitations should yield new, high quality spectroscopic information of exceptional intrinsic merit in the field of nuclear structure physics. This project in nuclear physics fulfills the program objective of advancing scientific knowledge by enabling leading experts in the United States and Eastern Europe to combine complementary talents and pool research resources in areas of strong mutual interest and competence.//
