U.S.-German Cooperative Research: A Study of Spontaneous Fission

0128954 Ramayya该奖项是早期奖项的延续，该奖项支持A.V. Ramayya，Joseph汉密尔顿和范德比尔特大学的研究生与德国法兰克福大学理论物理系的Walter Greiner合作。 该项目将侧重于了解核的冷（无中子）碎裂机制。 这项合作将美国方面的实验专业知识和设施与德国方面的理论能力结合在一起。 最近，新的设施（即大型锗阵列，如伽马射线管和Eurogram II）使详细的丰中子核光谱研究成为可能，从而观察到新的结构特征。 这反过来又导致了一些全新的方法来研究裂变。 这里支持的合作将以一种将显着推进核裂变领域的方式将实验学家和理论家聚集在一起。

0128954RamayyaThis award is a renewal of an earlier award that supports A.V. Ramayya, Joseph Hamilton, and a graduate student from Vanderbilt University in a collaboration with Walter Greiner of the Department of Theoretical Physics at the University of Frankfurt, Germany. The project will focus on understanding the mechanisms of cold (neutronless) fragmentation of nuclei. The collaboration brings together the experimental expertise and facilities on the U.S. side with the theoretical capabilities of the German side. Recently, new facilities (namely, large germanium arrays such as Gammasphere and Eurogram II) have made detailed spectroscopic studies of neutron-rich nuclei possible, resulting of observation of new structural features. This in turn has led to some entirely new approaches to the study of fission. The collaboration supported here will bring together experimentalists and theorists in a way that will significantly advance the field of nuclear fission.
