U.S.-Turkey Cooperative Research: Neutrinos in Nuclear, Particle and Gravitational Physics

0352192 Balantekin描述：该项目支持威斯康星州麦迪逊的威斯康星州大学物理系教授Akif Baha Balantekin和土耳其伊斯坦布尔的Koc大学物理系Tekin Derelli博士的合作项目。 他们计划进行理论物理研究，主要是引力场中的中微子物理，以及核结构物理中的多体问题。 目标是更好地了解中微子质量和混合，中微子通过介质和强引力场的传播，了解核心坍缩超新星的各个方面，并了解元素的起源，特别是快速中子捕获产生的元素。范围：该研究是美国国家优先核科学领域。 这项合作涉及美国和土耳其科学家在连接粒子，核，凝聚态物理和天体物理学的多学科活动。 来自威斯康星州大学的一名美国研究生将参加该项目，并将与Koc大学的科学家合作，Koc大学是一个最近成立的机构，有望为土耳其和美国之间的科学合作做出贡献。

0352192Balantekin Description: This project supports a cooperative project by the Professor Akif Baha Balantekin, Department of Physics at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, Wisconsin and Dr. Tekin Dereli, Department of Physics, Koc University, Istanbul, Turkey. They plan to conduct studies in theoretical physics, mainly on the physics of neutrinos in gravitational fields, and many body problem in nuclear structural physics. The objective is to have better understanding of the neutrino masses and mixings, neutrino propagation through media and in strong gravitational fields, understanding various aspects of core-collapse supernovae, and understanding the origin of elements, especially those produced in rapid neutron capture.Scope: The research is in an area of U.S. national priority in nuclear science. The collaboration involves U.S. and Turkish scientists in multidisciplinary activities that connect particle, nuclear, condensed-matter physics and astrophysics. A U.S. graduate student from the University of Wisconsin will participate in the project and will work with scientists at Koc University, a recently founded institution with excellent promise of contributing to scientific collaboration between Turkey and the United States.
