Collaborative Research on High Angular Momentum Phenomena in Nuclei, Award in U.S. and Indian Currencies

描述：该提案用于支持圣母大学(ND)和印度昌迪加尔潘贾布大学(PU)合作研究项目的旅费和生活费。这项工作的主要目的是研究核物理中的高角动量现象，特别是利用反冲距离技术研究奇异形状和寿命测量。实验将在新德里的核科学中心(NSC)、圣母大学核结构实验室和阿贡国家实验室ATLAS设施进行。对于由PU小组牵头的实验，大部分数据分析将在那里进行，测量将在那里进行，以确定可行性和最佳条件。最后的实验将使用阿贡-巴黎圣母院设施的全部功率进行，如果NSC的实验数据得到保证的话。这次调查提供了一个极好的机会，可以最大限度地利用印度和美国的设施，因为大部分工作都可以在印度的国家安全委员会完成。范围：拟议的研究涉及研究奇异的原子核形状，代表了目前结构物理学中最活跃的领域之一。考虑到阿贡-巴黎圣母院设施的需求量很大，加速器供过于求，这两个设施之间的实验划分非常有用。这项研究将包括两所大学的博士后研究员和研究生。***

Description: This proposal is for the support of travel and living expenses associated with a collaborative research project between the University of Notre Dame (ND) and the Panjab University, Chandigarh, India (PU). The major thrust of the work is to study high-angular momentum phenomena in nuclear physics, in particular studies of exotic shapes and lifetime measurements using the recoil distance technique. Experiments will be carried out at the Nuclear Science Center (NSC), New Delhi, at the University of Notre Dame Nuclear Structure Laboratory, and at the Argonne National laboratory ATLAS facility. For experiments in which the PU group takes the lead, most of the data analysis will be performed there, the measurements will be made there to determine feasibility and optimal conditions. The final experiment would then be performed using the full power of the Argonne-Notre Dame facility if warranted by experimental data from NSC. This investigation offers an excellent opportunity to make optimum use of facilities available both in India and in the U.S. since much of the work could be done at the NSC in India. Scope: The proposed research involving the study of exotic shapes of nuclei represents one of the most active fields in structure physics at the present time. The division of experiments between the two facilities is very useful considering that the Argonne-Notre Dame Facility is in high demand and the accelerator over-subscribed. Postdoctoral fellows and graduate students at both institutions will be included in this research. ***
