PHY 415/515: Senior/Graduate Laboratory
The CASE Nuclear Structure Lab is offering 2 experiments to students in Phy 445/515. In each instance students will learn to operate the Tandem accelerator facility to do a classic nuclear physics experiment.
27Al (p,n) 27SiAn investigation of the neutron threshold for the 27Al (p,n) 27Si nuclear fusion reaction. Determination of a neutron threshold gives information on the isospin (p versus n) dependence of the nuclear force. |
11B (p,n) 11CCreation of 11C from 11B through the use of a proton beam, and study of the gamma rays produced by positron emission in 11C. This isotope is of interest for its use in Positron Emission Tomography (PET). |
