Nuclear Beam Condensed Matter Physics Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that studies the structure of neutron-rich nuclei and the properties of matter using atomic nuclei as probes.

AboutAbout the lab
Using nuclei produced in a reactor to study structure and material properties.
The Nuclear Beam Condensed Matter Physics Lab studies the structure of atomic nuclei using nuclear spectroscopy, and conducts interdisciplinary research that uses atomic nuclei as probes.
The lab investigates short-lived neutron-rich nuclei produced by neutrons from a research reactor, using instruments such as the online isotope separator (KUR-ISOL).
The lab is located at the Institute for Integrated Radiation and Nuclear Science (Kumatori), and supervises graduate students as a cooperating laboratory of the Department of Physics and Astrophysics, Graduate School of Science.
Key terms
- Neutron-rich nucleus
- An unstable atomic nucleus that has too many neutrons relative to the number of protons
- Nuclear spectroscopy
- A method of studying the structure of atomic nuclei by measuring properties such as the energy of the radiation they emit
- Hyperfine interaction
- A very small interaction between an atomic nucleus and the magnetic and electric fields created by the surrounding electrons
ResearchResearch themes
The lab studies nuclear structure using nuclear spectroscopy, and conducts interdisciplinary research with atomic nuclei as probes.
*Illustrative imageStructure of neutron-rich nuclei
The lab systematically studies short-lived neutron-rich nuclei produced by fission induced by thermal neutrons or by neutron capture, searching for previously unknown nuclides and determining nuclear masses.
*Illustrative imageCondensed matter properties probed by atomic nuclei
The lab implants radioactive isotopes as ion beams into materials and investigates their properties by observing hyperfine interactions. This interdisciplinary research implants nuclei into materials such as superconductors and ferromagnets, and measures fields outside the nucleus using perturbed angular correlation.
