Mr Jack Bishop
Research
Currently, I am working in the field of exotic nuclei looking at experimental signatures of alpha-condensation in light nuclei. My current work utilises the CHIMERA+FARCOS array at LNS, Catania to analyse experimental data obtained by the group in 2015. By populating high excitation energies in 28Si with a compound nuclear reaction and studying the sequential decay, signatures of alpha-condensation can be achieved by studing 7 alpha-particle events. Additionally, reconstruction of intermediate nuclei from this decay may yield evidence of additional N-alpha cluster structures such as those proposed in 16O. More information about this work is available here. More details »
