Lasers and Nuclei: Shining light across the nuclear chart Dr James Cubiss, University of Edinburgh
Event details
Join Dr James Cubiss to explore how lasers can be used in nuclear physics research. Key to this work is the use of precision laser systems, which allow hyper-pure sources of radioactive material to be produced and studied, often in sample sizes of just a few atoms! Find out more about the experimental work currently undertaken at CERN and laboratories around the world to explore the nature of nuclear matter, and how nuclear physics can be harnessed to benefit society.
This webinar is open to all and also forms part of the Binding Blocks Nuclear Physics Masterclass for A-level students (or equivalent).
About the speaker
James Cubiss is a Lecturer in nuclear physics in the School of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Edinburgh. Prior to this, he was a researcher at the University of York, where he also completed his PhD. He conducts the majority of his work at CERN, in Geneva (Switzerland) where he is currently the spokesperson for the ISOLDE Decay Station collaboration, one of the primary nuclear physics experiments at the facility.
