This $2,100,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program supports experimental nuclear physics research at Florida State University (FSU). The key products and services delivered under this award include:
The research aims to measure nuclear reactions responsible for producing most naturally occurring elements in the universe, as well as the behavior of exotic nuclei. Experiments are conducted at FSU's on-campus accelerator laboratory and national laboratories. This work will help better understand stellar explosions and the abundances of elements. The award also supports research into cancer therapy using carbon ion beams, in collaboration with the Mayo Clinic. Additionally, the grant funds the development of a unique triton beam capability to study certain nuclear reactions. Overall, this award reflects NSF's mission to advance scientific knowledge and strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise through fundamental physics research.
