Enhancements in Experimental Nuclear Physics

该项目的目标是提高古斯塔夫斯·阿道夫学院学生核物理实验的数量和质量。目前的实验核物理装置存在一些重大缺陷：只有一台计算机化的多道分析器，没有贝塔能谱或高分辨率伽马能谱设备，没有快速计时实验设备。这笔赠款将允许购买额外的多通道分析仪、厚表面势垒探测器、HPGe探测器、几个闪烁体和快速NIM电子设备，从而消除这些问题。这一设备的增加将使许多新的和创新的实验得以发展，并将显著增强我们目前高级实验现代物理课程中的核物理部分。在核物理课程的正规化开设中，它也将是必不可少的。

The goal of this project is to increase the number and quality of nuclear physics experiments for students at Gustavus Adolphus College. The current apparatus for experimental nuclear physics has some major shortcomings: there is only one computerized multi channel analyzer, there is no equipment for beta spectroscopy or high-resolution gamma spectroscopy, and no equipment for fast timing experiments. This grant will eliminate these problems by allowing acquisition of an additional multi channel analyzer, a thick surface barrier detector, a HPGe detector, several scintillators, and fast NIM electronics. The addition of this equipment will allow development of many new and innovative experiments and will significantly enhance the nuclear physics component of our current upper-division Experimental Modern Physics course. It will also be essential in the regularized offering of a Nuclear Physics course.
