Experimental Nuclear Science: Probing Matter’s Core
Abstract:
Why and how do we study the structure of nuclei that form the core of atoms and are the fuel of stars? This talk will provide a flavor of the various stages of experimental "low-energy" nuclear science: the planning, the execution, the analysis and the interpretation. We will discuss methods of producing rare isotopes, when to fuse and when to fragment, what to measure and how to measure them, and how laboratory experiments can inform how elements are formed in the cosmos.
