Studies of nuclear processes. Progress report, June 1, 1975--May 31, 1976. [Summaries of research activities at University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill]
The UNC Chapel Hill group, affiliated with the Triangle Universities Nuclear Laboratory (TUNL), has emphasized in its recent research the following topics: nuclear interactions induced by polarized beams of protons and deuterons; developments in equipment and techniques for the measurement and interpretation of these interactions; the design and analysis of nuclear and atomic scattering experiments for protons, deuterons and heavier projectiles; the theory of ion-atom collisions; atomic effects in nuclear bombardment. The particle beams used were obtained primarily from the TUNL Cyclo-Graaff, the FN-tandem Van de Graaff and Lamb-shift polarized-ion source, and the 4-MeV Van de Graaff accelerators. Computations were performed using the computers at TUNL, at the Triangle Universities Computation Center, and at UNC, Chapel Hill. Collaborative experiments were undertaken primarily with the research groups from Duke University and North Carolina State University. Extensive participation of our graduate students in all aspects of the research has assured them a broad training in the fundamental and technical aspects of physics. Our research efforts have produced a deeper understanding of the spin dependence of nuclear interactions through measurements with polarized beams. Inner-shell ionization phenomena have been revealed in our detailed experimental and theoretical studies of atomic effects in nuclear bombardment.
