Our research
The members of the Nuclear Physics group at The University of Manchester pursue a range of research interests, including:
Laser spectroscopy of radioactive isotopes
Laser spectroscopy provides a fast and efficient technique for atomic hyperfine structure and isotope shift measurements.
Single-particle structure and nucleon-transfer reactions
The single-particle character and the associated shell structure of nuclei is the foundation of much of our understanding of nuclear physics.
Fission fragment spectroscopy
Spontaneous fission is currently the best method available for the production of medium-mass, very neutron-rich nuclei.
Applied Nuclear Physics
The group is a new research and education capability established through C-NET in the Department of Physics and Astronomy.
