Funded Activity Summary

Reaching the superheavy elements: a new approach with a novel ultra-sensitive detector array. Our project aims to build the knowledge base underpinning the creation of new heavy elements and isotopes. This first direct investigation of the hoped-for benefits of using radioactive beams will enhance the strong reputation of Australian research in the fundamental subject of nuclear fusion. The unique and sophisticated scientific instrument to be developed will enhance the capability of our RIEF-funded fusion product separator at the ANU, and use at overseas radioactive beam accelerators will showcase Australian technological achievement. This early participation in exciting, leading-edge developments will help Australian researchers to make full use of future, intense radioactive beam facilities, both in pure and applied research.
