Exotic atomic nuclei on the verge of nuclear stability

这项赠款提案的主要方向是将处于核稳定极限和中子与质子比极端的奇异核填充到核图中所谓的“隐形地”区域。这些核是在地球上的实验室中以非常低的概率产生的，有时还参与恒星中发生的核天体物理过程，并帮助科学家阐明宇宙中元素的起源。

The main direction of this grant proposal is to populate exotic nuclei situated at the very limit of nuclear stability and at the extremes of neutron-to-proton ratios, into the so-called "Terra Incognita" region of the nuclear chart. These nuclei, which are produced in laboratories on Earth with very low probabilities, are sometimes also involved in nuclear astrophysics processes which take place in stars, and help the scientists to elucidate the origin of the elements in the Universe.
