Experimental exploration of electroweak interactions in nuclei (B02)

Subject Area Nuclear and Elementary Particle Physics, Quantum Mechanics, Relativity, Fields
Term since 2016
Project identifier Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 279384907
 
Project B02 provides experimental constraints for electroweak interactions in nuclei and nuclear-structure aspects relevant to nuclear astrophysics. We will focus on the isovector spin M1 strength, the electromagnetic analog of their Gamow-Teller strength, by a complete quantification of the M1 and E1 excitation strength distributions from measurements at the S-DALINAC in Darmstadt and at HIgS, USA. The combination of experiments using nuclear resonance fluorescence and electron-gamma coincidence spectroscopy will provide absolute M1 excitation strengths up to the particle threshold for N=50 nuclei. These data will be confronted with shell-model calculations and will benefit the modelling of core-collapse supernovae.
