Shell evolution in the region of 208Pb

当核物理从EPSRC转移到STFC时，需要过渡资金。萨里小组在ISOL设施领导一个持续的研究方案，补充在GSI的碎裂反冲分离器的测量。两个主要的实验来研究a）通过检测201- 205 Au中的同质异能衰变来研究Z=82闭合壳层以下的质子单粒子轨道，以及B）测量184- 194 Pb基态的形状。这些实验已经得到了欧洲核子研究中心国际空间光学数据交换中心的国际PAC的批准，计划于2007年进行。这些实验将利用我们已经在CERN-ISOLDE建立的两个实验装置。要求提供衔接资源，以保持联合王国在这一领域的战略领导地位。特别是没有博士后支持可从英国分配，以支持建立和运行这些预定的实验，但这是至关重要的，以保持英国的领导地位。还需要为学术旅行提供支助和一些技术援助。还要求为访问研究员M. Gorska博士，他在双闭壳核壳模型计算方面的专业知识对于解释第一个实验至关重要。

Bridging funds are requested at the time when nuclear physics moves from EPSRC to STFC. The Surrey group leads a continuing programme of studies at ISOL facilities which complements measurements at the Fragmentation Recoil Separator at GSI. Two major experiments to investigate a) the proton single-particle orbitals below the Z=82 closed shell by detecting isomeric decays in 201-205Au and b) measuring the shapes of the 184-194Pb ground state. These experiments have been approved by the International PAC at CERN-ISOLDE and are scheduled for running in 2007. The experiments will make use of two experimental setups we have already established at CERN-ISOLDE. Bridging resources are requested in order to retain UK strategic leadership in this area. In particular no postdoctoral support is available to be allocated from the UK to support the setting up and running of these scheduled experiments, but this is vital to maintain UK leadership. Support for academic travel and some technical assistance is also needed. Support is also requested for a visiting researcher, Dr.M. Gorska, whose expertise in Shell Model calculations for doubly closed shell nuclei is vital for the interpretation of the first experiment.
