Operation of the Nuclear Structure Research Laboratory

这笔赠款用于支助罗切斯特大学核结构研究实验室1993-94历年的运作。这项研究利用了升级的MP串列Van de Graaff加速器的重离子束和强大的设备武器库，如反冲质谱仪、分裂极磁谱仪、伽马射线探测器阵列和加速器质谱仪系统，用于核科学的广泛项目。研究高自旋和同位旋的原子核结构包括测量原子核的形状、配对关联、正常态和超形变态的光谱以及原子矩。核反应计划包括研究重离子反应中的分裂、预平衡过程和转移。研究重离子碰撞中的电子-正电子发射是该计划的另一个主要目的。加速器质谱学计划涵盖了广泛的科学，并在环境科学中有重要的应用。

This grant if for support of the operation of the University of Rochester's Nuclear Structure Research Laboratory for the calendar years 1993-94. The research exploits heavy-ion beams from the upgraded MP tandem Van de Graaff accelerator and a powerful arsenal of equipment such as the Recoil Mass Spectrometer, split-pole magnetic spectrometer, gamma-ray detector array and accelerator mass spectrometry system, for a broad program in nuclear science. The investigations of nuclear structure at high spin and isospin involve measurements of nuclear shapes, pairing correlations, spectroscopy of normal and superdeformed states, and nuclear moments. The nuclear reaction programs involve studies of breakup, pre-equilibrium processes, and transfer in heavy-ion reactions. A study of electron- positron emission in heavy-ion collisions is another major thrust of the program. The accelerator mass spectrometry program encompasses a wide range of science with important applications to environmental science.
