U.S.-Australia Cooperative Science Program: Theoretical Studies of Subbarrier Fusion

小行星9315876 这笔奖金将用于支付A博士的机票和住宿费用。B。威斯康星州大学物理系的Balantekin博士，使他能够在未来三年内每年访问一次，与 塞尔达尔库尤察克博士，理论物理系， 澳大利亚国立大学（ANU）拟议的合作研究是在理论核物理领域，重点是涉及能量低于库仑势垒的重离子的聚变反应。 Balantekin和他的合作者已经开发了一个亚势垒融合模型，该模型结合了相互作用玻色子模型来描述目标核的结构。澳大利亚国立大学的库尤察克与墨尔本大学的研究人员一起开发了一种近似方案来研究质子散射。1992年11月，澳大利亚工业、技术和区域发展部（DITARD）在美澳合作科学计划下，为库尤察克博士提供了支助，使他来到美国，开始将各小组的专门知识汇集在一起的工作。该奖项将使这一新建立的合作得以继续。

9315876 Balantekin This award will support the airfare and lodging expenses for Dr. A. B. Balantekin, of the University of Wisconsin Department of Physics, to enable him to make one visit each year over the next three years, to conduct cooperative research with Dr. Serdar Kuyucak of the Department of Theoretical Physics at the Australian National University (ANU). The proposed collaborative research is in the area of theoretical nuclear physics with an emphasis on fusion reactions involving heavy ions at energies below the Coulomb barrier. Balantekin and his collaborators have developed a model for subbarrier fusion which incorporates the interacting boson model to describe the structure of target nuclei. Kuyucak at ANU, along with investigators from the University of Melbourne, developed an approximation scheme to study proton scattering. In November 1992 the Australian Department of Industry, Technology and Regional Development (DITARD), under the U.S. - Australia Cooperative Science Program, provided support for Dr. Kuyucak to come to the U.S. to begin work on bringing together the expertise of the respective groups. This award will enable the continuation of this newly established collaboration.
