Quantum tunnelling of composite systems

本项目旨在研究原子、分子和原子核等复合系统的量子隧穿这一深刻的物理问题。利用新的理论概念和工具来描述原子核之间的低能聚变，该项目有望产生新的知识，提高对核反应、宇宙中元素形成的理解，并为未来的核技术奠定基础。该项目旨在利用澳大利亚在量子和核理论方面的能力，以现代微观核动力学处理产生第一个量子隧道预测模型。它将为奇异束流和核合成的实验计划提供新的理论指导。

This project aims to investigate profound physics problem of quantum tunnelling of composite systems such as atoms, molecules and atomic nuclei. Using new theoretical concepts and tools to describe low-energy fusion between atomic nuclei, this project is expected to generate new knowledge and improve understanding of nuclear reactions, the formation of elements in the cosmos, and underpin future nuclear technologies. The project aims to leverage Australian capacity in quantum and nuclear theory to produce the first predictive model of quantum tunnelling with a modern microscopic treatment of nuclear dynamics. It will provide new theoretical guidance to experimental programs with exotic beams and focussing on nucleosynthesis.
