Microscopic Theory of Nuclear and Hypernuclear Structure and Reactions

* 9732634 Halderson项目在核理论的两个领域提出。 第一个领域涉及原子核与中等能量电子、介子和核子的相互作用。 本研究提供了这些探针和组成核子之间的相互作用机制，在高激发能量下的核的行为和衰变过程，以及核子在核内的分布的信息。 第二个研究领域是超核物理学。 超核至少包含一个奇异度或粲度不为零的重子。 虽然超核的寿命很短，但它们提供了一个实验室，可以用来确定奇异重子和核子以及它们之间的相互作用。 这些研究将提供低能强相互作用的基本信息。 此外，对这些相互作用的理解将提供对具有很少或没有质子的奇异核的存在以及中子星的奇异含量的预测。 ***

*** 9732634 Halderson Projects are proposed in two areas of nuclear theory. The first area concerns the interaction of nuclei with medium energy electrons, mesons, and nucleons. This investigation provides information on the interaction mechanism between these probes and the constituent nucleons, the behavior and decay processes of nuclei at high excitation energy, and the distribution of nucleons within nuclei. The second area of research is hypernuclear physics. Hypernuclei contain at least one baryon with non-zero strangeness or charm. Although their lifetimes are very short, hypernuclei provide a laboratory for determining the interaction of strange or charmed baryons with nucleons and with each other. These investigations will provide basic information on the strong interaction at low energies. In addition, an understanding of these interactions will provide predictions on the existence of exotic nuclei with few or no protons and the strangeness content of neutron stars. ***
