This award wil support the experimental nuclear physics group atFlorida State University. The research will be carried out at theFSU Tandem/LINAC accelerator facility and at other laboratoriesaround the U.S. Nine FSU faculty members are actively involved. Research focus areas include a variety of nuclear reactions ofastrophysical importance, isospin purity of nuclei, new insightsinto nuclear collective behavior, and properties of loosely bound"halo" nuclei. The FSU has had primary responsibility for the RingImaging Cherenkov detector for the PHENIX experiment at theRelativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), and will pursue electronmeasurements to look for nuclear medium effects on the perperties oflight vector mesons. At Jefferson Laboratory, the FSU group willuse high-quality tagged photon beams at the CLAS detector to searchfo rmesons with so-called exotic quantum numbers. This activityalso ties directly to participation in the development of theproposed Hall D detector for Jefferson Laboratory. Graduateeducation will be an essential component of the group's activities.

该奖项将支持佛罗里达州立大学的实验核物理小组。这项研究将在FSU串联/直线加速器设施和美国各地的其他实验室进行。FSU的9名教职员工积极参与。研究重点领域包括各种具有天体物理学重要性的核反应，原子核的同位旋纯度，对核集体行为的新见解，以及松散束缚的“晕”核的性质。FSU主要负责在相对论重离子对撞机（RHIC）的PHENIX实验中使用环形成像切伦科夫探测器，并将进行电子测量以寻找核介质对飞行矢量介子性质的影响。在杰斐逊实验室，FSU小组将在CLAS探测器上使用高质量的标记光子束来搜索具有所谓奇异量子数的介子。这一活动也直接关系到参与开发提议的大厅D探测器杰斐逊实验室。研究生教育将是该组织活动的重要组成部分。
