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

描述：此提案用于支持圣母大学（ND）和印度昌迪加尔旁遮普邦大学（PU）之间的合作研究项目的旅行和生活费用。这项工作的主要推力是研究核物理中的高角动量现象，特别是研究奇异形状和使用反冲距离技术测量寿命。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。PU组主导的实验，大部分数据分析在那里进行，测量在那里进行，以确定可行性和最佳条件。如果得到国家安全委员会的实验数据保证，最后的实验将使用阿贡-圣母大学设施的全部功率进行。这项调查为充分利用印度和美国的现有设施提供了一个极好的机会，因为大部分工作可以在印度的国家安全委员会完成。研究范围：研究原子核的奇异形状是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很高，加速器也超额认购，在两个设施之间划分实验是非常有用的。两所院校的博士后和研究生将被纳入本研究。＊＊＊

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. ***
