This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant awarded to Indiana Wesleyan University (Marion College) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) provides $147,161 over 3 years to advance the understanding of neutron-rich atomic nuclei. The key activities include: Conducting experiments at the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) at Michigan State University using the Modular Neutron Array (MONA) and Large-Area Multi-Institutional Scintillator Array (LISA), which were constructed and tested by undergraduate students. The experiments will investigate the structure of light neutron-rich nuclei near the limits of stability, providing tests for nuclear structure models. Additional neutron scattering experiments at the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center will improve the accuracy of computer simulations critical for data analysis. This collaborative research program provides cutting-edge research opportunities for undergraduate students to train the next generation of scientists.
