Abstract

Abstracts are not currently available in GtR for all funded research. This is normally because the abstract was not required at the time of proposal submission, but may be because it included sensitive information such as personal details.

Description The programme has driven a significant volume of research associated with understanding the structure of exotic, neutron-rich nuclei. In particular knock out type reactions have been able to able to provide invaluable insights as to how the nature of the strong interaction affects the properties of nuclei at and beyond the limits of stability. This in turn feeds into the development of state-of-the-art nuclear models.
Exploitation Route The impact of the research programme links through to the science programmes elsewhere globally, e.g. in the US and Japan.
Sectors Other

 
Description The programme is a fundamental science programme and as such the impact is within the science community. However, the project has involved the development of state-of-the-art detection/sensor and electronic processing systems, which then have a flow through to industry and applications.

Results and Impact 1. Debate on Small modular reactors, with 4 panel members as part of Science Festival Programme.
2. Discussion on climate change for schools.

A lot of positive feedback. Voting using clickers showed debate changed peoples minds on nuclear, in particular small modular reactors
