Improved quantification of f-element fission products

镧系元素裂变产物的测量是核鉴识学中的一个重要工具，但目前的技术是基于半个多世纪的老方法，因此速度慢，容易受到干扰。在这个博士课程中，我们将对基础化学有一个基本的理解，以确定当前方法难以实现的原因，并设计出替代方法来提高性能。学生将与绿色核能CDT相关联，提供核能的结构介绍，然后是专门开发的培训轮换，这使学生能够充分准备进入项目的研究阶段。

The measurement of lanthanide fission products is an important tool in nuclear forensics butcurrent techniques are based on approaches which are over half a century old and areconsequently slow and prone to interferences. In this PhD we will develop a fundamentalunderstanding of the underpinning chemistry to identify the reasons why current methodsstruggle, and devise alternative approaches to improve performance.The student will be associated with the GREEN nuclear energy CDT, providing a structuredintroduction to nuclear energy, followed by specifically developed training rotations, which allowthe student to move on to the research phase of the project fully prepared.
