Nuclear Physics Research at Intermediate Energies

该奖项涉及使用MIT- BATES、TRIUMF和IUCF的加速器设施进行的中间能量核物理学研究项目。在麻省理工学院-贝茨提出了伽马射线角相关性的测量，当电子从质子非弹性散射与发射的伽马射线在核子的（e,e）共振区。在TRIUMF和IUCF，将继续进行非弹性质子散射研究，在散射质子的同时探测到伽马射线。此外，在IUCF，将测量中间能量质子捕获反应的微分截面和分析能力。这个实验计划是基于使用一个非常大的碘化钠闪烁体光谱仪，该光谱仪已被优化为高分辨率探测能量范围高达约500兆电子伏特的伽马射线。碘化钠闪烁体光谱仪的发展是通过各种大学的资助才得以实现的。

This award deals with a program of studies in intermediate energy nuclear physics using the accelerator facilities at MIT- BATES, TRIUMF, and IUCF. At MIT-BATES measurements are proposed of the gamma-ray angular correlation when electrons are scattered from protons inelastically with the emission of a gamma-ray at the (e,e) resonance region of the nucleon. At TRIUMF and IUCF, inelastic proton scattering studies will be continued, with gamma-rays detected in coincidence with the scattered protons. In addition, at IUCF, measurements will be made of the differential cross sections and analyzing powers for the intermediate energy proton capture reaction. This experimental program is based on the use of a very large sodium-iodide scintillator spectrometer which has been optimized for high-resolution detection of gamma-rays in the energy range up to about 500 MeV. The development of the sodium-iodide scintillator spectrometer has been made possible through various university grants.
