Shell evolution in the region of 208Pb

过渡性资金是在核物理从EPSRC转移到STFC时申请的。萨里小组在ISOL设施领导了一项持续的研究方案，补充了GSI破片反冲分离器的测量结果。两个主要的实验研究了：a)通过探测201-205Au的同质异能衰变来研究Z=82闭合壳层以下的质子单粒子轨道；b)测量184-194Pb基态的形状。这些实验已得到欧洲核子研究中心-伊索尔德国际和平行动委员会的批准，并计划于2007年运行。这些实验将利用我们已经在CERN-Isolde建立的两个实验装置。需要过渡资源，以保持英国在这一领域的战略领导地位。特别是，英国没有提供博士后支持，以支持这些预定实验的建立和运行，但这对保持英国的领导地位至关重要。对学术旅行的支持和一些技术援助也是必要的。还要求为访问研究员M·戈尔斯卡博士提供支持，他在壳层模型计算双封闭壳层核方面的专业知识对于解释第一个实验至关重要。

Bridging funds are requested at the time when nuclear physics moves from EPSRC to STFC. The Surrey group leads a continuing programme of studies at ISOL facilities which complements measurements at the Fragmentation Recoil Separator at GSI. Two major experiments to investigate a) the proton single-particle orbitals below the Z=82 closed shell by detecting isomeric decays in 201-205Au and b) measuring the shapes of the 184-194Pb ground state. These experiments have been approved by the International PAC at CERN-ISOLDE and are scheduled for running in 2007. The experiments will make use of two experimental setups we have already established at CERN-ISOLDE. Bridging resources are requested in order to retain UK strategic leadership in this area. In particular no postdoctoral support is available to be allocated from the UK to support the setting up and running of these scheduled experiments, but this is vital to maintain UK leadership. Support for academic travel and some technical assistance is also needed. Support is also requested for a visiting researcher, Dr.M. Gorska, whose expertise in Shell Model calculations for doubly closed shell nuclei is vital for the interpretation of the first experiment.
