U.S.-Brazil Cooperative Research: Nuclear Multifragmentation at Intermediate Energies

9908727 Tsang这个美国-巴西的奖项将为Man-Yee B博士提供支持。Tsang和William G.美国密歇根州立大学国家超导回旋加速器实验室（NSCL）的林奇博士与巴西里约热内卢联邦大学的同事合作，由劳尔·多南杰洛博士领导。 他们的目标是研究核多重碎裂的理论解释，这一过程可能为核物质的液-气相转变提供洞察力。这项合作将使密歇根州的实验学家与里约热内卢联邦大学的理论家合作。 Donangelo博士是广泛使用的统计多重碎片模型（SMM）的原始开发者之一。 NSCL的小组拥有一套独特的多重碎片数据，需要对SMM和其他模型进行重大改进以进行解释。 到目前为止，这两个小组都集中在这些改进上，这些改进可以使模型能够准确地统计预测同位素产额。 当这些小组在NSCL会面时，他们将致力于与他们积累的大量数据进行比较，而在里约，重点将放在模型开发上。*

9908727TsangThis US-Brazil award will provide support for Drs. Man-Yee B. Tsang and William G. Lynch of the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory (NSCL) at Michigan State University to collaborate with colleagues at Brazil's Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, led by Dr. Raul Donangelo. Their goal is to study the theoretical interpretation of nuclear multifragmentation, a process that may provide insight into the liquid-gas phase transition of nuclear matter.This collaboration will bring experimentalists from Michigan State to work with theoreticians from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro. Dr. Donangelo is one of the original developers of the widely used Statistical Multifragmentation Model (SMM). The group at NSCL possesses a unique set of multifragmentation data that requires significant improvements to the SMM and other models for its interpretation. So far, the two groups have focussed on these improvements, which could make the model capable of accurate statistical predictions of isotopic yields. When the groups meet at NSCL, they will work on comparisons to the large volume of data they have accumulated, while in Rio the emphasis will be on model developments.***
