The proposed project will involve the study of nuclear reactions utilizing short-lived nuclear beams together with the development of instrumentation, techniques, and apparatus to facilitate such studies. Specific experiments will emphasize the investigation of the structure and reaction mechanisms at very low collision energies of neutron- and proton-rich light nuclei near the limits of nuclear stability.. Much of the work is related to the synthesis of elements in normal stars, as well as in supernova explosions and other extreme astrophysical environments. The work primarily will be done at the University of Notre Dame and will involve graduate and undergraduate students from the University of Michigan and the University of Notre Dame, together with faculty members and students from several other (primarily undergraduate) colleges and universities, most located in the Midwest . As in the past, the proposed work will have applications in other areas using nuclear technology including medicine and national security..

拟议的项目将涉及利用短寿命核束研究核反应，以及开发仪器、技术和设备，以促进此类研究。具体的实验将强调在核稳定性极限附近的中子和质子丰富的轻核的非常低的碰撞能量的结构和反应机制的调查。大部分工作都与正常恒星中的元素合成有关，以及超新星爆炸和其他极端天体物理环境。这项工作主要将在圣母大学完成，将涉及密歇根大学和圣母大学的研究生和本科生，以及其他几所（主要是本科）学院和大学的教职员工和学生，大多数位于中西部。与过去一样，拟议中的工作将应用于使用核技术的其他领域，包括医学和国家安全。
