U.S.-Mexico Cooperative Research: Radioactive Nuclear Beam Experiments Using the Twinsol Facility

9813422Kolata美国-墨西哥奖将支持圣母大学的James Kolata博士与墨西哥城国家核研究所（ININ）的Eli Aguilera博士合作进行研究。研究人员打算参与一项多年的合作实验计划，以研究短期放射性核物种的相互作用，并将其应用于核结构物理学和核天体物理学。这些实验将利用圣母大学最近与密歇根大学的一个小组合作开发的高质量、低能量的放射性光束，并将解决与稳定谷边缘的“外来”核结构相关的重要物理问题，以及对完全理解太阳中微子发射的重要问题

9813422KolataThis U.S.-Mexico award will support Dr. James Kolata from the University of Notre Dame in a research collaboration with Dr. Eli Aguilera of the Instituto Nacional de Investigaciones Nucleares (ININ) in Mexico City. The researchers intend to engage in a multi-year collaborative experimental program to investigate the interactions of short-lived, radioactive nuclear species, with applications to nuclear structure physics and to nuclear astrophysics.The experiments will utilize high quality, low-energy radioactive beams recently developed at the University of Notre Dame, in collaboration with a group at the University of Michigan, and will address important physics questions related to the structures of "exotic" nuclei at the edge of the valley of stability, as well as issues that are important for a complete understating of neutrino emission from the sun.***
