This project on Studies of Nuclear Reactions and Structure willsupport fundamental research in experimental nuclear physics and thetraining of Ph.D. students for service to the nation in forefrontscientific research, education, homeland defense, national security,and enhancing economic competitiveness. At the John D. FoxSuperconducting Accelerator Laboratory at Florida State University,the new RESOLUT rare ion facility will allow the study of thereactions and structure of nuclei far from stability which arecritical to astrophysics and the interpretation of observations madeby the new astronomical observatories. Our unique beams of 14C willallow us to study how the most fundamental property of nuclearstructure, the shells, changes with increasing imbalance in theproportion of neutrons to protons. The home laboratory is also anideal hands-on training ground for Ph.D. studentsOther nuclear structure studies will be carried out at internationalfacilities such as Gammasphere at ATLAS and the NationalSuperconducting Accelerator Laboratory. Other components of ourresearch program include leading efforts at the Relativistic Heavy IonCollider to study a new form of matter that existed a fraction of asecond after the Big Bang and at CB-ELSA in Bonn, Germany to searchfor previously unseen excited baryon resonances.

核反应与结构研究项目将支持实验核物理的基础研究和博士生培养。为国家科研，教育，国防，国家安全和提高经济竞争力服务。在约翰D。在佛罗里达州立大学的福克斯超导加速器实验室，新的RESOLUT稀有离子设施将允许研究远离稳定的原子核的反应和结构，这对天体物理学和解释新天文观测站的观测结果至关重要。 我们独特的14 C束将使我们能够研究核结构的最基本属性，壳层，如何随着中子与质子比例的不平衡而变化。 家庭实验室也是一个理想的实践训练场博士。其他的核结构研究将在国际设施中进行，如ATLAS的伽马加速器和国家超导加速器实验室。 我们的研究计划的其他组成部分包括在相对论重离子对撞机的领导努力，以研究一种新形式的物质，存在于大爆炸后的几分之一秒，并在德国波恩的CB-ELSA寻找以前看不见的激发重子共振。
