Spectroscopy of exotic nuclei

该项目将研究远离最大β稳定性线的原子核的性质。该学生将致力于建立一个实验研究计划，使用ISOLDE螺线管光谱仪（ISS），这是作为STFC资助的ISOL-SRS项目的一部分建造的，目前正在欧洲核子研究中心的最后调试阶段。国际空间站的实验将使用HIE-ISOLDE提供的后加速放射性离子束轰击氘代目标。国际空间站将测量在转移和非弹性散射反应中产生的轻离子的能量，以探测在外来核中填充的状态的属性。学生将积极参与国际空间站的实验计划，并打算将国际空间站实验的数据作为论文的一部分进行分析。学生还将有机会参加其他核物理设施的实验，以扩大他们的经验。虽然数据分析和解释将主要在利物浦进行，但实验工作将在国际加速器实验室进行，并利用最先进的光谱仪系统。作为他们在这个项目上的训练和研究的一部分，学生将从加速器实验室的长期依恋中受益。

The project will investigate the properties of nuclei that lie far from theline of maximum beta stability. The student will work towardsestablishing an experimental research programme using the ISOLDESolenoidal Spectrometer (ISS), which was constructed as part of theSTFC-funded ISOL-SRS project and is currently in the final phases ofcommissioning at CERN. The ISS experiments will use post-acceleratedbeams of radioactive ions provided by HIE-ISOLDE to bombarddeuterated targets. The ISS will measure the energies of light ionsproduced in transfer and inelastic scattering reactions in order toprobe the properties of the states that are populated in the exoticnuclei. The student will actively participate in the experimentalprogramme with the ISS and it is intended that the student will analysedata from an ISS experiment as part of their thesis. The student willalso have opportunities to participate in experiments at other nuclearphysics facilities in order to broaden their experience. While the dataanalysis and interpretation will be primarily performed at Liverpool,the experimental work will be conducted at international acceleratorlaboratories and exploit state-of-the-art spectrometer systems. Aspart of their training and research on this project, the student wouldbenefit from a Long Term Attachment at an accelerator laboratory.
