U.S.-China Cooperative Research (Physics) Probing the Neutron-Nucleus and Nucleus and Nucleon-Nucleon Force with 25- to 40-MeV Neutrons

该奖项支持清华大学和中国原子能研究所的中国科学家与杜克大学的科学家在低能物理学的两个重大问题上的合作。通过核子-核子和中子-氘核实验，研究小组希望提供关于在宽能量范围内中子-核相互作用性质的高精度信息，以及核子-核子相互作用的本质。中国和美国都将为该项目提供研究人员和加速器时间。杜克大学的研究人员在现有设备无法达到的能量下，中国对光束时间的贡献是合作的关键因素。杜克大学的研究人员将与中国研究人员一起在中国原子能科学研究院的实验设施工作，中国研究人员将参与杜克大学的实验和分析。

This award supports cooperation between Chinese scientists at Tsinghua University and the China Institute of Atomic Energy with scientists from Duke University in the investigation of two significant issues in low-energy physics. Through nucleon-nucleon and neutron-deuteron experiments, the research team hopes to provide high-accuracy information about the nature of the neutron-nucleus interaction over a wide energy range, and about the nature of the nucleon- nucleon interaction. Both China and the U.S. will contribute researchers and accelerator time to the project. The Chinese contribution of beam times at energies unreachable at the facilities available to the Duke researchers is a key element in the collaboration. Duke researchers will join Chinese researchers in work at the experimental facility at the China Institute of Atomic Energy, and Chinese researchers will participate in experiments and analysis at Duke.
