Poster awards, summary talk
The experimental programme at Birmingham in the the area of light nuclei focuses on nuclear cluster states. Recent investigations including a new limit on the direct decay of the carbon-12 Hoyle state, the use of machine learning to extract cluster signatures from resonant scattering data for medium-mass nuclei, and precision investigations into cluster and molecular candidate states in the...
Over the last twenty years, the language of universality, the renormalisation group, and effective field theory has become central to few-body physics. The original application of these ideas to strongly-interacting, nonrelativistic particles was to nuclear forces, where they have led to improved descriptions of few-nucleon systems and better understanding of the role of three-body forces....
