RUI: Measurement of Nuclear Dipole and Quadrupole Moments Using On-Line Beta-Detected NMR and LMR Spectroscopy

这笔拨款将支持韦斯特蒙特学院的一名教员和他的学生对放射性原子核的核电磁矩进行测量。韦斯特蒙特大学是一所本科院校，本科生参与的研究主要是在拥有大型加速器设施的国家实验室进行的，这是该计划的主要推动力。学生们还将在韦斯特蒙特大学进行数据分析。这些测量结果将检验并推动原子核结构理论模型的发展。学生将学习实验技术以及对数据的批判性分析。他们将接触到国家实验室的前沿研究工作。

This grant will support measurements of the nuclear electromagnetic moments of radioactive nuclei by a Westmont College faculty member and his students. Westmont is an undergraduate institution and undergraduate student involvement in the research, which is mostly carried out at national laboratories with large accelerator facilities, is a major thrust of this program. The students will also carry out data analysis at Westmont. The measurements will test, and advance the development of, theoretical models of the structure of nuclei far from stability. The students will learn laboratory techniques as well as critical analysis of data. They will be exposed to the front-line research efforts of national laboratories.
