The primary goal of the proposed research program is to investigate the shell structure of exotic, neutron-rich nuclei by direct reactions. These kinds of reactions are an excellent tool to probe the single particle properties of nuclei and gain information on the nuclear wave functions. Comparisons of the experimental results with state-of-the-art theoretical calculations will give new insights on the nuclear potential such as the role of tensor forces and three-body components.The broader impact of the proposed project includes building an active research program in nuclear structure physics at Central Michigan University. This project will provide opportunities for undergraduate and M.S. students to actively participate in experiments carried out at world leading research facilities. Students can apply their skill outside of the class room and gain new experience in simulating and analyzing experimental data, setting up data acquisition systems and developing a new particle detection system. The students will be expected to publish their results and present their research at national and international conferences.

拟议的研究计划的主要目标是通过直接反应研究奇异的富中子核的壳层结构。这类反应是探测核的单粒子性质和获得原子核波函数信息的极好工具。实验结果与最先进的理论计算的比较将提供新的见解的核势，如张量力和三体组件的作用。拟议的项目的更广泛的影响，包括建立一个积极的研究计划，在核结构物理在中央密歇根大学。该项目将为本科生和硕士提供机会。学生积极参与在世界领先的研究设施进行的实验。学生可以在课堂外运用他们的技能，并在模拟和分析实验数据、建立数据采集系统和开发新的颗粒检测系统方面获得新的经验。学生将被要求发表他们的研究成果，并在国家和国际会议上介绍他们的研究。
