Laser Spectroscopy at the limits of nuclear existence

该项目将在Isolde-CERN对短寿命放射性同位素进行共线共振电离光谱分析。该项目的重点是了解多体核相互作用在中子过剩结构演变中的作用。这将侧重于新的幻数的出现和现有壳缺口的削弱。学生将开发新的光谱方法来提高技术的灵敏度，并使更多的外来同位素能够被研究。这将包括离子捕获和冷却的新方法以及激光电离方案和方法的发展。

The project will perform collinear resonance ionization spectroscopy on short-lived radioactive isotopes at ISOLDE-CERN. The project is focused on understanding the role of many-body nuclear interactions on the evolution of structure with neutron excess. This will focus on the emergence of new magic numbers and weakening of established shell gaps. The student will develop novel spectroscopic methods to enhance the sensitivity of the technique and enable more exotic isotopes to be studied. This will include novel methods of ion trapping and cooling as well as development of laser ionization schemes and methods.
