项目摘要

The research programme aims at understanding the processes that forge the elements in stars and the big bang and obtaining a deeper understanding of nuclear matter. This requires remarkable experiments underground that let us study reactions at the very low energies occurring in stars such as the sun, and with beams of radioactive nuclei to understand the reactions that take place in explosive events such as supernovae which occur at higher temperatures and involve unstable isotopes. The astrophysical origin of the elements heavier than iron remains a particular mystery - they may for example be produced in thermally pulsing stars, supernovae and merging neutron stars. Fusion reactions with neutrons play a vital role in producing these elements but we do not understand these reactions, and the properties of radioactive isotopes produced by them, well enough. We will study reactions with neutron beams and study the properties of highly neutron-rich nuclei existing very far from stability. The nature of matter in neutron stars themselves remains a mystery. These are like large nuclei but bound by the gravitational force rather than the strong force. We will perform measurements of the neutron skin which forms on the surface of nuclei with intense high energy photon beams. The neutron skin is a mini laboratory for neutron star matter and by accurately measuring its properties we can access new information on neutron star structure and cooling mechanisms. The nature of matter inside neutron star cores is a great mystery, and it has been suggested that matter containing strange quarks may be present - a remarkable hypothesis. Our experiments will test the nature of nuclear matter for the conditions found in neutron stars. There is evidence that quarks can exist as a group of 6, a hexaquark, and may even be present inside neutron stars and influence their properties. This is not something found in textbooks but the theory of the strong force, quantum chromo dynamics, allows this exotic possibility. We will perform experiments to provide stronger evidence for the existence of the hexaquark and probe its properties.

该研究计划旨在了解恒星和大爆炸中元素的形成过程，并更深入地了解核物质。这需要在地下进行非凡的实验，让我们研究太阳等恒星中发生的极低能量的反应，并利用放射性核束来了解在高温下发生并涉及不稳定同位素的超新星等爆炸事件中发生的反应。比铁重的元素的天体物理学起源仍然是一个特殊的谜团——它们可能是在热脉冲恒星、超新星和合并中子星中产生的。中子聚变反应在产生这些元素方面发挥着至关重要的作用，但我们对这些反应以及由它们产生的放射性同位素的性质还不太了解。我们将研究中子束反应，并研究远离稳定状态的高富中子核的性质。中子星本身的物质性质仍然是个谜。它们就像大原子核，但受到引力而不是强力的束缚。我们将用强高能光子束测量原子核表面形成的中子皮。中子皮是中子星物质的迷你实验室，通过精确测量其特性，我们可以获得有关中子星结构和冷却机制的新信息。中子星核心内部物质的性质是一个巨大的谜团，有人认为可能存在含有奇怪夸克的物质——这是一个了不起的假设。我们的实验将测试中子星条件下核物质的性质。有证据表明夸克可以以 6 个夸克的形式存在，即六夸克，甚至可能存在于中子星内部并影响其性质。这不是教科书上的东西，但强力理论，量子色动力学，允许这种奇异的可能性。我们将进行实验，为六夸克的存在提供更有力的证据，并探究其性质。
