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 | This grant is to fund a suite of equipment to be used as part of NuSTAR, Nuclear Structure Astrophysics and Reactions) at the FAIR facility in Darmstadt. Our part of the work is to help develop an array of LaBr3 detectors for measurements of lifetimes of nuclear states. |
Exploitation Route | The purpose of the grant was to build an array of LaBr3 scintillator detectors for use in nuclear-physics experiments to measure the lifetimes of states of exotic nuclei. The development and use of novel types of scintillators such as LaBr3 could be of use in various areas of industry and society. In particular LaBr3 has very good energy resolution (compared to other scintillator detectors) so could find use in areas such as environmental monitoring and nuclear forensics. |
