Structure of Exotic Neutron-Rich Nuclei Populated Using Novel Reaction Mechanisms

由于缺乏可用的核反应，超过一半的被认为对粒子衰变稳定的原子核尚未被研究。我们在开发利用不完全聚变和深度非弹性反应获得富中子核的创新技术方面发挥了主导作用，这些技术在这项工作之前是无法获得的。该项目旨在以澳大利亚在该领域的现有投资为基础，研究奇异的、富含中子的核的新现象，并通过国际科学领导，促进澳大利亚研究人员进入具有高度竞争力的海外设施。

Over half of the nuclei believed to be stable to particle decay have not been studied due to the lack of available nuclear reactions. We have played a leading role in developing innovative techniques using incomplete-fusion and deep-inelastic reactions to access neutron-rich nuclei that were inaccessible prior to this work. This project aims to study new phenomena in exotic, neutron-rich nuclei, building on Australia's existing investment in this area, and, through international scientific leadership, facilitating the access of Australian researchers to highly competitive overseas facilities.
