SUMMARY:National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory Seminar
DESCRIPTION:
 Nathan Watwood, FRIB Graduate Assistant, will 
 be speaking.\n
 \n
 The presentation is titled "Measurement 
 of Capture Excitation Functions with 
 Neutron-Rich Nuclei."\n
 \n
 The study of heavy 
 and superheavy elements is important for understanding 
 nuclear structure at the limit of 
 stability where macroscopic and microscopic 
 effects are delicately balanced. It is a benchmark 
 domain for a rich variety of calculations 
 including time-dependent Hartree-Fock (TDHF) 
 and density functional theory (DFT). One difficulty 
 in studying these nuclei is the low 
 formation probability. There is limited reliability 
 in models to predict the outcome of superheavy 
 particle formation due to the significantly 
 large number of degrees of freedom. 
 The fusion-fission process is a key reaction 
 to access heavy element formation. Experiments 
 were performed at the National Superconducting 
 Cyclotron Laboratory (NSCL) at Michigan State 
 University and at the Heavy Ion Accelerator 
 Facility at Aus- tralian National University 
 to measure fusion-fission excitation functions 
 of two different combinations of Ca+Sm 
 and K+Pb with varying neutron-richness. \n\n
