This two-year award will support U.S.-France cooperative research in theoretical nuclear physics. The American and French investigators are Stuart Pittel of the Bartol Research Institute at the University of Delaware and Jonathan Engel of the University of North Carolina and Piet van Isacker of GANIL (Grand Accelerateur National d' Ions Lourds) in Caen, France. The objective of their research is the application of nuclear structure techniques to astrophysical nucleosynthesis. They will study beta decay from neutron rich `waiting point` nuclei which play an important role in the r-process. Subsequently, they will develop techniques for studying p-process beta decay. The U.S. investigators bring to this collaboration their expertise in calculations as applied to nuclear astrophysics. This is complemented by the French experimental studies in nuclei far from stability. The project takes advantage of combined expertise in nuclear structure calculations and of access to excellent facilities and equipment at GANIL.

这项为期两年的奖励将支持美国-法国理论核物理合作研究。 美国和法国的调查人员是特拉华州大学巴托尔研究所的斯图尔特·皮特尔和北卡罗来纳州大学的乔纳森·恩格尔以及法国卡昂的GANIL（Grand Accelerateur National d' Ions Lourds）的皮特·货车·伊萨克。 他们的研究目标是将核结构技术应用于天体物理核合成。 他们将研究富中子“等待点”核的β衰变，这在r过程中起着重要作用。 随后，他们将开发研究p过程β衰变的技术。 美国研究人员将他们在核天体物理学计算方面的专业知识带到了这次合作中。 法国在远离稳定核中的实验研究补充了这一点。 该项目利用了核结构计算方面的综合专业知识以及GANIL的优秀设施和设备。
