Research in Theoretical Nuclear Physics

0070161Balantekin 拟议的研究领域是理论物理学领域，重点是了解美国和国外正在进行的实验活动的结果。许多不同的项目将由最近获得博士学位的年轻科学家和目前正在高级科学家研究活动中撰写博士论文的科学家参与。 这些项目将包括以下工作： i) 了解太阳和其他恒星核心的能量产生活动； ii)探索宇宙不同地点重元素的起源和形成； iii) 研究在实验室和天体物理环境中产生的称为中微子的微小粒子的特性； iv) 开发数学技术来模拟原子核和类似的复杂系统； v) 了解重核在实验室实验中碰撞时如何分裂； vi) 探索实验室产生的不稳定原子核的性质。选择这些项目不仅是为了增进我们的基础物理学知识，也是为了培训所涉及的年轻人。

0070161Balantekin The proposed area of research is in the area of theoreticalphysics with an emphasis on understanding results from theongoing experimental activity in the United States and abroad. Anumber of different projects will be carried out with theparticipation of younger scientists who recently received theirdoctorates and those who are currently working on their doctoraldissertations in the research activity of the senior scientists. The projects will include efforts i) To understandenergy-producing activity in the core of the Sun and other stars; ii)To explore the origin and formation of heavy elements in differentsites around the universe; iii) To study the properties of tinyparticles called neutrinos that are produced both in the laboratoryand astrophysical settings; iv) To develop mathematical techniques tomodel nuclei and similar complex systems; v) To understand how heavy nuclei break up when they collide in laboratory experiments; vi) To explore properties of unstable nuclei that are produced in thelaboratories. These projects are chosen not only to contribute to ourknowledge of fundamental physics but also to the training of the young people involved.
