U.S.-Australia Cooperative Science Program: Theoretical Studies of Subbarrier Fusion

9315876 Balantekin该奖项将支持威斯康星大学物理系A.B.Balantekin博士的机票和住宿费用，使他能够在接下来的三年里每年访问一次，与澳大利亚国立大学(ANU)理论物理系的Serdar Kuyucak博士进行合作研究。拟议的合作研究是在理论核物理领域，重点是库仑势垒以下能量下的重离子聚变反应。Balantekin和他的合作者开发了一个亚垒聚变模型，该模型结合了相互作用玻色子模型来描述靶核的结构。澳大利亚国立大学的库尤卡克和墨尔本大学的研究人员一起开发了一个近似方案来研究质子散射。1992年11月，根据美澳合作科学计划，澳大利亚工业、技术和区域发展部(DITARD)支持库尤卡克博士来到美国，开始整合各自小组的专业知识。这一奖项将使这一新建立的合作得以继续下去。

9315876 Balantekin This award will support the airfare and lodging expenses for Dr. A. B. Balantekin, of the University of Wisconsin Department of Physics, to enable him to make one visit each year over the next three years, to conduct cooperative research with Dr. Serdar Kuyucak of the Department of Theoretical Physics at the Australian National University (ANU). The proposed collaborative research is in the area of theoretical nuclear physics with an emphasis on fusion reactions involving heavy ions at energies below the Coulomb barrier. Balantekin and his collaborators have developed a model for subbarrier fusion which incorporates the interacting boson model to describe the structure of target nuclei. Kuyucak at ANU, along with investigators from the University of Melbourne, developed an approximation scheme to study proton scattering. In November 1992 the Australian Department of Industry, Technology and Regional Development (DITARD), under the U.S. - Australia Cooperative Science Program, provided support for Dr. Kuyucak to come to the U.S. to begin work on bringing together the expertise of the respective groups. This award will enable the continuation of this newly established collaboration.
