Master of Arts [M.A] [Arts and Design by Independent Project] From University of Brighton

These properties are investigated from low energy, where the nuclear constituents interact as individual particles, to very high energies, where nucleons can 'melt' into their component quarks and gluons. We are also interested in the use of nuclear physics in medical and industrial applications.Ê

The Charissa collaboration is using large detector arrays to investigate the properties of nuclei far from stability, near the neutron and proton drip lines. This work is undertaken at laboratories around the world, including the Grand Accelerateur National dÕIons Lourds (GANIL) in France, which is a leading facility for the study of exotic nuclei far from stability.

Information about sizes and shapes of unstable nuclei is obtained by the application of high-resolution laser spectroscopy at JyvŠskylŠ in Finland at the CERN-ISOLDE facility. The group is also involved in preparatory work for experiments at the forthcoming Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR) at GSI in Germany.Ê

Career

Preparation for your career should be one of the first things you think about as you start university. Whether you have a clear idea of where your future aspirations lie or want to consider the broad range of opportunities available once you have a Physics and Astronomy (Nuclear Physics Specialism) from University of Birmingham, the Careers Network can help you achieve your goal.
