Exploiting new breakthroughs in understanding nuclear fission

这个项目旨在描述和量化在决定核裂变产物的质量和能量分布中至关重要的量子能级，最近的结果表明，人们对这些能级还远远没有理解。结合新的技术和概念，分布将被测量到裂变势垒能，最大限度地提高对量子效应的灵敏度。该项目利用了最新增强的澳大利亚加速器基础设施，世界上最好的探测器能力，以及轻簇核反应的最新发现。这些结果将测试新的备受瞩目的量子多体预测，并指导基本模型的发展，其影响范围从未来的能源到理解宇宙中重元素的产生。

This project aims to characterise and quantify the quantum energy levels crucial in determining the mass and energy distributions of nuclear fission products, which recent results show are far from understood. Combining new techniques and concepts, distributions will be measured down to the fission barrier energies, maximising sensitivity to quantum effects. The project exploits newly enhanced Australian accelerator infrastructure, world-best detector capabilities, and the latest findings in reactions of light cluster nuclei. The results will test new high-profile quantum many-body predictions and guide fundamental model developments, with implications ranging from future energy to understanding production of heavy elements in the universe.
