Gamma-Ray Spectroscopy And Electromagnetic Moments of Nuclei Under Extreme Conditions

这个项目将研究在伸长和稳定极限下原子核的结构。 铅附近原子核的高度伸长或超变形的形状将通过测量这些激发的磁矩，研究这些形状到正常变形激发的衰变，并将对这些形状的搜索扩展到极有可能裂变的系统来研究。 通过研究基态的磁矩和建立在通过发射质子或α粒子衰变的异构体上的激发，将探测质子发射衰变可能发生的区域附近的原子核结构。 今后将发展技术，研究放射性离子束产生的远离稳定性的原子核的核磁特性。

This project will study the structure of atomic nuclei at the limits of elongation and stability. Highly elongated, or superdeformed, shapes of nuclei near lead will be studied by measuring magnetic moments of these excitations, studying the decay of these shapes to excitations with normal deformations, and extending the search for these shapes to systems which are highly likely to fission. The structure of nuclei near the region where decay by proton emission can occur will be probed by studying the magnetic moments of the ground states and the excitations built on isomers which decay by emitting a proton or alpha particle. Techniques will be developed for future studies of nuclear magnetic properties of nuclei far from stability produced as radioactive ion beams.
