Operation of the Stony Brook Linac for Weak Interaction Measurements in Francium and Nuclear Structure Studies

斯托尼布鲁克超导直线加速器是一种低能重离子加速器，具有广泛的研究计划，研究原子核和原子的特殊性质。 这项研究强调了物理学的前沿问题。 稀有元素已经被生产出来并用激光捕获，现在正在测量几个原子核的日珥时刻。 动量产生于原子核中中子和质子之间的弱相互作用。 其他的研究集中在不寻常的原子核上，这些原子核在结构上表现出“旋向性”，以及由于大激发能、大量角动量或中子与稳定原子核的巨大差异而受到应力的原子核。 斯托尼布鲁克核结构实验室也是许多教育活动阿萨中心。 学生在高中，本科，研究生和博士后水平participatein的研究计划与各种强度，从束线建设运行实际实验。

The Stony Brook Superconducting LINAC is a low-energy heavy ionaccelerator with a broadly based research program that studiesspecial properties of nuclei and atoms. The research emphasizesfrontier issues in physics. The rare element, francium, has beenproduced and trapped with lasers, and work is now going on tomeasure the anapole moments of several francium nuclei. The anapolemoment arises from the weak interactions between neutrons andprotons in the nucleus. Other research focuses on unusual nucleithat exhibit a "handedness" to their structure, and nuclei that arestressed by large excitation energy, large amounts of angularmomentum or large difference in neutrons from that of stablenuclei. The Stony Brook Nuclear Structure Laboratory also serves asa focus of many educational activities. Students at the highschool, undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral levels participatein the research program with various intensities, from beam lineconstruction to running actual experiments.
