Nuclear Radiation Physics Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that studies materials through the resonance of X-rays and gamma rays with atomic nuclei.
AboutAbout the lab
Using the atomic nucleus as a window to explore the properties of matter.
The Nuclear Radiation Physics Lab focuses on the generation of photons and particle beams in the X-ray and gamma-ray range, and on their interactions with matter.
Using nuclear resonant scattering of synchrotron radiation and gamma-ray nuclear spectroscopy with nuclei as probes (Mössbauer spectroscopy), the lab investigates properties such as the electronic states of materials with ultrahigh energy resolution.
The lab is located at the Institute for Integrated Radiation and Nuclear Science (Kumatori), and is a cooperating laboratory of the Department of Physics and Astrophysics, Graduate School of Science.
Key terms
- Nuclear resonant scattering
- A method of studying nuclei by exciting them with X-rays of a specific energy that only certain nuclei absorb
- Mössbauer effect
- A phenomenon in which a gamma ray emitted from a nucleus without recoil is absorbed, also without recoil, by a nucleus of the same kind
- Synchrotron radiation
- Bright light, such as X-rays, emitted when electrons accelerated to nearly the speed of light are bent along a curved path
ResearchResearch themes
The lab carries out advanced research centered on the generation of photons and particle beams in the X-ray and gamma-ray range, and on their interactions with matter.
*Illustrative imageNuclear resonant scattering of synchrotron radiation
The lab conducts basic research on how excited nuclei decay, by exciting atomic nuclei with synchrotron radiation, along with applied research using nuclear resonant inelastic scattering. Experiments are performed at SPring-8.
*Illustrative imageCondensed matter studies by gamma-ray nuclear spectroscopy
Using the Mössbauer effect, the lab uses atomic nuclei as probes to measure fields outside the nucleus with ultrahigh energy resolution, and investigates the electronic structure of condensed matter. Short-lived radioisotope sources produced with neutrons from a nuclear reactor make it possible to take measurements on many different kinds of nuclei.
