Research in Low Energy Nuclear Physics

斯托尼布鲁克超导直线加速器为核物理和原子物理的基础研究提供重离子束，并为辐射探测、硬件开发和实验分析领域的学生的招募、发展和培训提供基础设施。 与加速器和其他设施的计划研究将建立在目前正在进行的活动上，并将继续现有和新的博士和其他学生的教育计划。伽马射线光谱学的研究计划将调查核结构的几个领域，包括两个项目，这两个项目是在斯托尼布鲁克开始的，现在是非常活跃的研究领域。第一个研究手征的指纹，其中涉及存在的右手和左手的几何形状不确定的特殊核，和第二个项目研究的限制，如何muchangular动量的一个核可以携带。 另一个研究项目使用我们的直线加速器的独特能力，以提供107粒子/秒的强烈Fr束。 这项工作将集中在偏振，冷却和捕获的Fr的精确测量的核磁矩，这是需要测试的原子计算的Fr原子。 Fr光束也将被用来继续发展原子中弱相互作用的测量。 斯托尼布鲁克核结构实验室也是许多教育活动的焦点。高中生、本科生、研究生和博士后的学生以不同的强度参加研究计划，从束线建设到实际实验。 除了这些学生，高中生，新生，和各种班级参观实验室作为一个加速器研究设施的例子。

The Stony Brook Superconducting Linear Accelerator provides heavy ion beamsfor basic research in nuclear and atomic physics, and an infrastructure forthe recruitment, development and training of students in the areas ofradiation detection, hardware development and experimental analysis. Theplanned research with the accelerator and at other facilities will buildupon the activities currently in progress, and will continue the educationalprogram of current and new PhD and other students. The research program ingamma ray spectroscopy will investigate several areas of nuclear structureincluding two projects that were started at Stony Brook and are now veryactive areas of research. The first studies the fingerprints of chirality,which involves the existence of right-handed and left-handed geometries incertain special nuclei, and the second project studies the limit of how muchangular momentum a nucleus can carry. Another research project uses theunique capability of our LINAC to provide intense Fr beams of 107particles/sec. The effort will focus on polarizing, cooling and trapping ofFr for precision measurements of the nuclear magnetic moments that areneeded to test the atomic calculations of the Fr atom. The Fr beams willalso be used to continue the development of weak interaction measurements inatoms. The Stony Brook Nuclear Structure Laboratory also serves as a focusof many educational activities. Students at the high school, undergraduate,graduate, and postdoctoral levels participate in the research program withvarious intensities, from beam line construction to running actualexperiments. In addition to these students, high school students, incomingstudents, and various classes tour the laboratory as an example of anaccelerator research facility.
