Spectroscopy of Exotic Nuclei

该项目将研究远离最大稳定线的原子核的性质。该学生将使用ISOLDE螺线线谱仪（ISS）进行实验研究，ISS是stfc资助的ISOLDE - srs项目的一部分，目前正处于全面的科学开发阶段。国际空间站的实验使用HIE-ISOLDE提供的后加速放射性离子束轰击氘化目标。国际空间站将测量在转移和非弹性散射反应中产生的光离子的能量，以探测在外来核中填充的状态的性质。学生将积极参与国际空间站的实验项目，学生将分析国际空间站实验的数据，作为论文的一部分。该学生还将进行一些初步调查，为国际空间站未来的能力升级做准备。学生将有机会参加其他核物理设施的实验，以扩大他们的经验。虽然数据分析和解释将主要在利物浦进行，但实验工作将在国际加速器实验室进行，并利用最先进的光谱仪系统。作为该项目的培训和研究的一部分，学生将受益于CERN的长期实习。

The project will investigate the properties of nuclei that lie far from the line of maximum beta stability. The student will work on the experimental research programme using the ISOLDE Solenoidal Spectrometer (ISS), which was constructed as part of the STFC-funded ISOL-SRS project and is now in the full science exploitation phase. The ISS experiments use post accelerated beams of radioactive ions provided by HIE-ISOLDE to bombard deuterated targets. The ISS will measure the energies of light ions produced in transfer and inelastic scattering reactions in order to probe the properties of the states that are populated in the exotic nuclei. The student will actively participate in the experimental programme with the ISS and it is intended that the student will analyse data from an ISS experiment as part of their thesis. It is intended that the student will also undertake some preliminary investigations to prepare the way for future upgrades of the capabilities of the ISS. The student will have opportunities to participate in experiments at other nuclear physics facilities in order to broaden their experience. While the data analysis and interpretation will be primarily performed at Liverpool, the experimental work will be conducted at international accelerator laboratories and exploit state-of-the-art spectrometer systems. As part of their training and research on this project, the student would benefit from a Long Term Attachment at CERN.
