RIKEN Nishina Center for Accelerator-Based Science Nuclear Structure Research Group
Director: Hideki Ueno (D.Sc.)
Research Summary
Far-unstable RIs (radioactive isotopes), whose proton/neutron ratios differ significantly from those of naturally-occurring stable nuclei, have been shown to exhibit unique nuclear structures and properties, and their structural studies are one of the central subjects in nuclear physics. The research group has been conducting physics research based on various nuclear spectroscopic techniques, such as β-ray spectroscopy (β-NMR, μSR, etc.), γ-ray spectroscopy (γ-TDPAD, Mössbauer spectroscopy, etc), laser spectroscopy, and TOF mass spectroscopy. In particular, the group is working on the development of the device to control RI spins and the universal low-energy RI-beam device, SLOWRI, aiming at new experimental research using the unique RI beams produced.
