Title : In-beam spectroscopy of 30Mg: structural evolution approaching the island of inversion

Abstract : In the island of inversion, ground states of neutron-rich nuclei around 32Mg exhibit strong admixtures of fp-shell intruder contributions. The nucleus 30Mg is located at the border of the island of inversion, and its nuclear structure serves as a cornerstone to track the structural evolution as one approaches the heart of the island, namely 32Mg. In the present work, the structure of 30Mg was studied by detailed in-beam gamma-ray spectroscopy, primarily focusing on firm spin-parity assignments for excited states. The experiment was performed at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory at Michigan State University. States in 30Mg were populated via nucleon removal reactions. Gamma rays were detected using the state-of-the-art gamma-ray tracking array GRETINA in coincidence with the residual 30Mg, allowing for the construction of an updated level scheme. The experimental results were confronted with large-scale shell-model calculations, providing further insight into the transition into the island of inversion. In this talk, the results and their interpretations will be presented. A new in-beam measurement of 32Mg will also be discussed briefly.

Opening of Postdoctoral Researchers at Center for Nuclear Study, University of Tokyo

CNS has several devices in RIBF in RIKEN Nishina Center and pursues the experimental nuclear physics such as nuclear astrophysics and nuclear structure/reaction studies with radioactive isotope beams. We also have branches of fundamental physics with radioactive heavy elements, high-energy nuclear physics, nuclear theory and development of ion sources.

JOB TITLE: postdoctoral researcher, a few positions available

FIELD: Experimental and theoretical nuclear physics.

The successful candidates will work on experimental nuclear physics with radioactive isotopes mainly by using the devices of CNS (CRIB, SHARAQ, Ge array (GRAPE), OEDO, Active Target, etc), on fundamental physics with radioactive heavy elements, on high energy nuclear collisions at ALICE at LHC, or on nuclear structure theory.

ELIGIBILITY: They must hold a recent Ph.D degree in

experimental/theoretical nuclear physics, or a related field by April 1, 2020.

EMPLOYMENT:

One-year fixed-term employment contract, renewable up to March 31, 2023, according to research budget, research activity, and research achievements. The start of the employment is April 1, 2020 (negotiable). Health and unemployment insurance plans are available.

SALARY: ~ 300,000 yen/month (gross). Additionally commuting expense will be covered.

APPLICATION MATERIALS:
