IRIS : Charged particle reaction spectroscopy at ISAC

我们宇宙的很大一部分是由核反应提供动力的，这是太阳和星星发光背后的秘密。在我们的实验室里，核反应和散射是揭示原子核心秘密的方法。这个项目的重点是探索同位素与大量过剩的中子超过质子或反之亦然，可能存在于我们的宇宙的某些环境，如超新星，中子星等突破性的新发现有关其未知的属性将成为可能使用新建成的设施IRIS在加拿大国家实验室的亚原子物理学，TRIUMF在温哥华，BC。IRIS设施率先在银箔上使用固体氢（即氢气直接凝固）的薄冰层。这将使我们能够揭开大自然如何创造我们今天所依赖的大多数元素。这些不稳定核的意外特性使得有必要寻求基本问题的答案，即自然界如何组织中子和质子以形成束缚系统，以及当它们变得不受束缚时，它们在极限下如何表现。

A large part of our universe is powered by nuclear reactions, that are the secret behind the glow of the sun and the shine of the stars. In our laboratories nuclear reactions and scattering are the ways to unearth the secrets that lie in the heart of the atom. This project focuses on exploring the isotopes with a large excess of neutrons over protons or vice versa, that possibly exist in certain environments of our universe such as supernovae, neutron stars etc. The ground breaking new discoveries about their unknown properties will become possible using the newly constructed facility IRIS at Canada's National Laboratory for subatomic physics, TRIUMF in Vancouver, BC. The IRIS facility has pioneered in the use of a thin ice sheet of solid hydrogen (i.e. hydrogen gas solidified directly) on a silver foil. This will allow us to unravel how nature creates the majority of the elements that we depend on today. The unexpected characteristics of these unstable nuclei make it necessary to seek answers to the fundamental question on how nature organizes the neutrons and protons to form a bound system and how do they behave at the limit when they become unbound.
