TIARA - Surrey Emergency Bridging Funding

这一请求是根据珍妮特·西德宣布的核物理安排提供的紧急过渡资金。TIARA项目由英国设计和领导，TIARA阵列已准备好在法国的GANIL/SPIRAL使用。萨里是该项目的牵头机构。GANIL PAC已经批准了一系列5个主要实验，以研究非常富含中子的核的幻数和壳层结构的变化，以及其他结构研究，并计划于2007年运行。其中三项实验的主要发言人来自TIARA。所有实验都将通过汇集TIARA和该领域其他主要工作组MUST 2的设备和人员来进行。这项运动于2007年9月开始，是建立一个主要的国际合作研究转移的第一个重要步骤，英国在其中发挥了主导作用。此外，TIARA合作有一项实验已批准在2007年底进行，以扩展先前的SPIRAL工作，并在加拿大的TRIUMF进行后续研究，使用基于TIARA概念的设备，包括TIARA贡献的新设计。这将是TRIUMF的第一次此类实验，PAC预计它将发展成为该设施的一个重要计划。由于资助机制的变化，没有博士后支持可从英国分配，以支持这些预定的实验的设置和运行，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。

This request is for emergency bridging funding under the arrangements announced for nuclear physics by Janet Seed. The TIARA project is designed and led by the UK and the TIARA array is ready for use at GANIL/SPIRAL in France. Surrey is the lead institution in the project. A series of 5 major experiments to investigate the changes in magic numbers and shell structure for very neutron rich nuclei, and other structural studies, has been approved by the GANIL PAC and is scheduled for running in 2007. Three of these experiments have principal spokespersons from TIARA. All of the experiments will be performed by bringing together equipment and personnel of TIARA and the other major group working in this area, MUST2. This campaign starting in September 2007 represents the first major step towards the building of a major international collaboration to study transfer, with the UK in a leading role. In addition, the TIARA collaboration has an experiment approved for running in late 2007 to extend previous SPIRAL work with a follow-up study at TRIUMF in Canada, using equipment based on the TIARA concept and including new designs contributed by TIARA. This will be the first experiment of its kind in TRIUMF and the PAC anticipated it developing into an important programme for the facility. Due to the changes in funding mechanisms, 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.
