Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Experimental Nuclear Physics (ref 230487)

University of Oslo, Norway

Updated: over 1 year ago
Job Type: FullTime
Deadline: 01 Sep 2022

The research of the Nuclear Physics group is focused on the study of atomic nuclei under extreme conditions, e.g. nuclei at high excitation energy at the transition from quantum order to chaos, exotic nuclei with an unusual ratio of protons and neutrons, and nuclear reactions in astrophysical environments. To obtain experimental information under such conditions is crucial in order to constrain and improve theoretical nuclear structure models, and to understand how elements heavier than iron are formed in explosive stellar environments.

The current project aims at studying nuclear level densities and photon strength functions. These are fundamental properties of the nucleus and can also be used as input into for example TALYS to calculate neutron capture cross sections. This project also aims at further developing the Oslo  method to study the spin dependence of the nuclear level density.  The experiments will be run at the Oslo Cyclotron Laboratory using the OSCAR array of 30 large volume LaBr detectors and complementary experiments will be run abroad at for example iThemba LABS or MSU.
