U.S.-Jordan Cooperative Research: Quantum Statistical Properties of 56-Fe

0401423 Vary描述：该项目支持爱荷华州艾姆斯的爱荷华州州立大学物理系James P. Vary教授和约旦安曼应用科学大学物理系Mahmoud Hasan博士的合作项目。 他们计划应用微观多体理论来预测中等质量核的量子统计特性，重点是铁-56。在过去五年中，在解决与中等质量核的数百万能级有关的问题方面取得了进展。 PI将在高激发下调查这些相同的问题。这项研究将对理解超新星爆炸的动力学和理解高能转移时的核反应产生影响。 范围：研究领域已经成熟，主要的理论进展。Vary博士在原创性和创造性研究方面有着出色的记录，并在他的研究中包括学生。 哈桑教授在拟议的工作中有很强的背景。该团队是完美的项目的成功完成。 这里提出的国际合作是适当的实现拟议工作的目标，它将有助于建立两个以学生为中心的机构之间的合作。

0401423Vary Description: This project supports a cooperative project by the Professor James P. Vary, Department of Physics at Iowa State University at Ames, Iowa and Dr. Mahmoud Hasan, Department of Physics, Applied Science University, in Amman, Jordan. They plan to apply microscopic many-body theory to predict the quantum statistical properties of medium weight nuclei with a focus on Iron-56. In the past five years progress has been made in addressing the problems associated with the millions of levels in medium-mass nuclei. The PIs will investigate these same issues at high excitation. The research would have implications both for the understanding of the dynamics of supernova explosions and for the understanding of nuclear reactions at high energy transfer. Scope: The area of study is ripe for major theoretical advances. Dr. Vary has an excellent record of original and creative research, and includes students in his research. Prof. Hasan has a very strong background in the proposed work. The team is perfect for the successful completion of the project. The international collaboration proposed here is appropriate for accomplishing the objectives of the proposed work, and it will help establish cooperation between two student-centered institutions.
