Summary on Grant Application Form |

Two areas of active interest in nuclear physics are the properties of exotic nuclei at relatively low energies and the interplay between the substructure of hadrons and nuclear physics at higher scales. We intend to apply our expertise in a range of microscopic approaches to these two areas. The group at UMIST has pioneered the use of coupled-cluster and large-amplitude collective-motion techniques in several areas of physics, whereas the Manchester University group has substantial expertise in filed-theoretic approaches to nuclear physics. We shall exploit this combination of skills to address problems of current experimental interest. These include the study of properties of nuclei, including halo nuclei, drip-line nuclei and superdeformed nuclei. We shall also look at the effect of chiral symmetry on hadron properties, the NN force and nuclei. This will help to address the experimental results on the properties of hadrons in matter. With the advent of new heavy-ion facilities a better understanding of high-density phases of hadronic matter has become imperative. We shall study these phases in various regimes. Finally, we shall continue our investigations into applications of coupled-cluster methods in a translationally invariant treatment of light nuclei, calculations in heavier nuclei, and application to lattice field theories.
