MRI: Development of a liquid hydrogen target for use with rare isotope beams

该奖项是根据2009年美国复苏和再投资法案(公法111-5)资助的。这是一个在乌尔辛斯学院建造和测试液氢目标的项目，用于快速稀有同位素束流。该设计是基于日本理研公司开发的现有目标。这一目标将支持国家超导回旋实验室(NSCL)正在进行的PI实验计划，该计划的重点是研究奇异核的集体和单粒子结构。该目标还将用于与乌尔辛纳斯的合作实验。该项目的更广泛影响包括支持乌尔辛斯学院校园内积极的核结构研究计划。乌尔辛斯学院是一所拥有约1600名学生的全国性文理学院，在理科方面有着悠久的历史。该项目将为学生提供在课堂之外应用他们的物理知识、获得实用技术技能、观察和参与核加速器设施的运行以及向同事展示他们的工作的机会。

This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5).This is a project to construct and test a liquid hydrogen target at Ursinus College for use with fast rare isotope beams. The design is based on an existing target developed at RIKEN in Japan. The target will support the ongoing experimental program of the PI at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory (NSCL) focused on studies of collective and single-particle structure of exotic nuclei. The target will also be made available for collaborative experiments with Ursinus.The broader impact of the project includes supporting an active research program in nuclear structure on the Ursinus College campus. Ursinus College is a national liberal arts college of about 1600 students with a long history of strength in the sciences. This project will provide students opportunities to apply their knowledge of physics outside the classroom, gain practical technical skills, observe and participate in the operation of a nuclear accelerator facility, and present their work to colleagues.
