Nuclear Spectroscopy of Radioactive Strontium-94

Abstract

Traditionally, the production of neutron-rich nuclei in laboratories has been impossible. However, with the accelerator facilities now available at the ATLAS facility of Argonne National Laboratory, there is now a unique opportunity for the study of such nuclei. By studying how the Rb-94 nucleus decays and releases energy, there has been a potential to update the currently accepted information, with further applications in nuclear astrophysics and nuclear reactor dynamics.
