This project engages Ursinus College undergraduates in experimental nuclear structure research. The project is part of an ongoing collaboration with colleagues at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory (NSCL) and Florida State University (FSU). The proposed work will contribute to the understanding of the evolution of shell structure and core polarization in neutron-rich calcium isotopes beyond 48Ca and the collapse of the N = 28 shell in 42Si via inverse-kinematics proton scattering measurements at the NSCL.The broader impact of the project includes maintaining an active research program in nuclear structure on the Ursinus College campus. Ursinus College is a national liberal arts college of about 1700 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 skills in data acquisition and analysis, observe and participate in the operation of a nuclear accelerator facility, and present their work to colleagues. The project will span three years and support two students for 8-10 weeks per summer. Participants will travel to the NSCL to perform experiments and analyze the data at Ursinus. They will present their results to the Ursinus community as part of the Ursinus College Summer Fellows Program and to the nuclear physics community at American Physical Society/Division of Nuclear Physics meetings.

该项目吸引了乌尔西诺学院的本科生参与实验核结构研究。该项目是与国家超导回旋加速器实验室（NSCL）和佛罗里达州立大学（FSU）的同事正在进行的合作的一部分。拟议的工作将有助于通过在NSCL.The更广泛的影响，该项目的影响包括保持积极的研究计划，在核结构上的Ursinus学院校园的富中子钙同位素超过48 Ca的壳结构和核心极化的演变和崩溃的N = 28壳42 Si通过逆运动学质子散射测量。Ursinus College是一所拥有约1700名学生的国家文科学院，在科学领域拥有悠久的历史。该项目将为学生提供机会，运用他们的物理知识在课堂之外，获得数据采集和分析的实用技能，观察和参与核加速器设施的操作，并向同事介绍他们的工作。该项目将持续三年，每年夏天为两名学生提供8-10周的支持。参与者将前往NSCL在Ursinus进行实验并分析数据。他们将向Ursinus社区展示他们的研究结果，作为Ursinus学院暑期研究员计划的一部分，并在美国物理学会/核物理会议部门向核物理社区展示。
