NUCLEAR STRUCTURE RESEARCH GROUP
NUCLEAR STRUCTURE RESEARCH GROUP About Us Nucleus is a quantum many-body system in which the underlying interactions between the nucleons are not fully explained. As a feature of quantum many-body systems, existence of collective modes can provide information about the nucleon-nucleon interaction and structure of nuclei. Especially, with the advents in experimental nuclear physics, investigation of nuclei above and below the drip lines are attract attention by scientist. The aim of our research group is to study the structure of exotic nuclei (whose neutron number is bigger than proton number and unstable nuclei) by means of Multiple resonances. Soft modes are results of neutron excess of nuclei and providing information from nuclear structure (Neutron skin, nuclear symmetry energy, etc.) to neutron stars. In addition, Finite temperature calculations in exotic nuclei are in our current research topics. In this way, we can get much more information about nuclei under extreme conditions. We are also working with collaborators from l'Institut de Physique Nucléaire d'Orsay (CNRS-IPN). Research Topics Giant Multiple Resonances of nuclei (Monopole, Dipole, Quadrupole) Soft modes in exotic nuclei Nuclei under extreme conditions ( Halo nuclei, nuclei at finite temperature).
