Giant resonance decay studies: a means to constrain fundamental properties of nuclear matter

Objective

Giant resonances correspond to a collective motion involving many if not all the particles in the nucleus. The restoring forces for these high-frequency density or shape vibrations are directly related to the fundamental properties of the nucleus and the nuclear matter. Such relevant properties are the nuclear incompressibility and the symmetry energy term of the effective nucleon-nucleon interaction.

The experimental observation of the decay channels of the giant resonances offers a unique possibility to learn about their microscopic structure and damping mechanism. In addition, the selection of the direct particle decay channels is especially of fundamental importance since it drastically helps to suppress the background and the nuclear continuum, and enables a more precise definition of the giant resonance strengths, which leads to a more stringent test of the microscopic descriptions. The primary goal of this project is to prepare and perform coincidence experiments on the direct-proton decay of the least-known, high-lying giant resonances, which are mainly overtone modes.

These studies will focus on the collection of systematic decay data of the isoscalar giant dipole resonance and on the search for an unambiguous evidence for the existence of overtone modes of the isoscalar giant quadrupole and monopole resonances. The proposed studies will provide an effective reintegration of the applicant to the host institute, which offers the suitable scientific excellence to successfully achieve the research objectives presented by the applicant.
