MRI: Development of a liquid hydrogen target for use with rare isotope beams

该奖项是根据2009年美国复苏和再投资法案（公法111-5）资助的。这是一个在乌尔西诺学院建造和测试液氢靶的项目，用于快速稀有同位素束。该设计基于日本RIKEN开发的现有目标。该目标将支持PI在国家超导回旋加速器实验室（NSCL）正在进行的实验计划，重点是研究奇异核的集体和单粒子结构。该目标还将用于与Ursinus的合作实验。该项目的更广泛影响包括支持Ursinus学院校园内的核结构积极研究计划。Ursinus College是一所拥有约1600名学生的国家文科学院，在科学领域拥有悠久的历史。该项目将为学生提供机会，在课堂外应用他们的物理学知识，获得实用的技术技能，观察和参与核加速器设施的操作，并向同事介绍他们的工作。

This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5).This is a project to construct and test a liquid hydrogen target at Ursinus College for use with fast rare isotope beams. The design is based on an existing target developed at RIKEN in Japan. The target will support the ongoing experimental program of the PI at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory (NSCL) focused on studies of collective and single-particle structure of exotic nuclei. The target will also be made available for collaborative experiments with Ursinus.The broader impact of the project includes supporting an active research program in nuclear structure on the Ursinus College campus. Ursinus College is a national liberal arts college of about 1600 students with a long history of strength in the sciences. This project will provide students opportunities to apply their knowledge of physics outside the classroom, gain practical technical skills, observe and participate in the operation of a nuclear accelerator facility, and present their work to colleagues.
