RIKEN Nishina Center for Accelerator-Based Science Final Summer Research Project, 2023

  • Project goal/objective: Analyze nuclear reactions both in simulation and experimentally with a pelletron accelerator, and compare the reaction rates (total and angular differential cross sections) to existing theoretical predictions, as well as perform error analysis.
  • Technologies used: keV-MeV range pelletron accelerator (experiment), Geant4 (light-matter interaction simulations), Python (data analysis).
  • Deliverables: Presentation given before 2023 Riken Nishina School workshop.
