Nuclear Structure Theory

路易斯安那州立大学的理论核物理项目由j.p。德拉耶教授指导，目前有5名研究生（4名物理学研究生，1名计算机科学研究生）和1名博士后助理研究员，其目的是对重核的性质给出简单而准确的描述，比如稀土（如铒）和锕系元素（如锕系元素）的性质。铀)由大量质子和中子（大于150）组成的区域。这些物质足够重，可以显示出与邻近元素共有的一般特征，但也显示出独特的个体特征，我们可以利用这些特征来了解质子和中子之间以及核介质中彼此之间的相互作用。我们正试图以一种理性诚实的方式回答诸如“为什么旋转和振动模式主导着重核的结构？”这项研究包括培养研究生的批判性思维能力和使用最先进的计算设备，如超级计算机（在全国各地的中心都有）和并行计算机（通过特殊的“8g”国家资助），这将有助于定义下一代超级计算机。7的7 7 l 7 7 7的7 7 7 e 74 7 7 7 71 7 m 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 h 7“7”7 7 7 7 8ı8 U WV F F 0(和Z t F 1 * ^ F和Ht HH | ?p=H~ 8 F F + F F F ^ & ？u = | F F F v v v /p0 ~ u v v v 7 F P P v v v v v ~ Q 2，F ~ t ~ t ~ t ~ u ~ @​!!A (Times New Roman Symbol & Arial " h R R R R / terri l. hicks

9312628 Draayer The aim of the program in theoretical nuclear physics at Louisiana State University, which is under the direction of Professor J.P. Draayer and currently involves five graduate students (four in physics and one in computer science) and one postdoctoral research associate, is to give a simple but accurate description of the properties of heavy nuclei, like those in the rare earth (e.g., erbium) and actinide (e.g., uranium) regions which are made up of a large number of protons plus neutrons (greater than 150). These species are heavy enough to display generic features shared with neighboring elements and yet show unique individual characteristics that we can use to learn about how protons and neutrons interact among themselves and with each other inside the nuclear medium. We are seeking to answer in an intellectually honest way questions such as, "Why do rotational and vibrational modes dominate the structure of heavy nuclei?" The research involves training of graduate students in critical thinking skills and the use of state-of-the-art computing facilities, such as supercomputers (available at centers across the country) and parallel machines (available through special "8g" state funding) that will help define the next generation of megacomputers. 7' 7 7l 7 7 7` 7 7 7E 74 7 7 7 71 7M 7 7 7 7 7 7 7H 7" 7" 7 7 7 7 8ı 8 U WV F F 0 (& Z t F 1 * ^ F & Ht HH|?p=H~ 8 F F + F t F ^ & ? u = | F F F v v v /p0 ~ u v v V 7 F P F P v v v V ~ Q 2 , F ~ t ~ t ~ t ~ u ~ @ ! !
