Summary on Grant Application Form |
The proposed programme is an investigation into nuclear reactions and nuclear structure using charged particle spectroscopy techniques. A particular emphasis is on investigations of exotic nuclei, where present reaction and structure models fail. It is intended to perform systematic studies of reactions and spectroscopy in order to improve our experimental knowledge and hence the models which describe these phenomena. The programme can thus be divided into two parts; (i) the study of nuclear reactions involving weakly bound and highly deformed nuclear systems, and (ii) the study of the spectroscopy of light proton and neutron-rich nuclei. In the former case the programme is designed to answer two long standing problems in nuclear physics, the failure of reaction models to describe reactions involving weakly bound and highly deformed N=Z nuclei. It is believed that this research programme will provide information pertinent to radioactive beam experiments, where nuclear reactions involving both deformed and weakly bound nuclei are being used to extract nuclear structure information.The second area of nuclear spectroscopy studies will use break-up reactions to probe exotic cluster structures which have been predicted in light proton and neutron-rich nuclei. These cluster structures are expected to be the analogues of covalently bound atomic molecules.
