Research Summary

The Nuclear Dynamics Research Group pursues research activities putting primary focus on interplay of spin and isospin in exotic nuclei. Understanding nucleosyntheses in the universe, especially those in r- and rp-processes is another big goal of our laboratory. The research subjects include isospin dependences of nuclear equation of state, spin-isospin responses of exotic nuclei, new correlations at low-densities (with SAMURAI and SHARAQ spectrometers), mass measurements of short-lived nuclei (with the Rare RI Ring).

Application of the triplet-DNP technique to nuclear physics, material and life sciences is proceeding.
