The University of Manchester -School of Physics
Start Date: September 2013
The Nuclear Physics Group at the University of Manchester is offering two fully-funded PhD studentships in Low-energy Experimental Nuclear Physics. Most of our current research is carried out by performing experiments at major international facilities, such as at Argonne National Laboratory (USA), Jyvaskyla (Finland), GANIL (France), ILL (France) and GSI (Germany). The group carries out both pure and applied nuclear physics research. A major project with which the Manchester group is involved is the construction and use of the CLARA detector array and PRISMA magnetic spectrometer at Legnaro National Laboratory in Italy, in order to study the structure of exotic nuclei. The group runs a programme of research into the nature of nuclear isomeric states, is a world leader in fission-fragment spectroscopy and is currently involved in the exploitation of the STEFF spectrometer to study gamma decays from neutron-rich fission fragments. In addition, the group is involved with the Gammasphere, Exogam, and GREAT projects, and also leads programs of laser-spectroscopy research and nuclear lifetime measurements at Jyvaskyla and Laser spectroscopy at ISOLDE at CERN. The successful applicants will be funded to carry out research towards the award of a PhD in projects chosen from the above research areas for a period of 3 years.
