What is a particle accelerator?

Hear from Dr Tom McGoram, CEO of @HIA_Accelerates on how they play an important role in solving difficult problems.

HIA is supported by the department’s NCRIS program. Learn more: https://t.co/4B3MGb9sAp

My advert looking for a student just came out: https://t.co/OoPtZfDhx4
The student will work with me and my colleague Gavin Lotay at @SurreyMathsPhys on measuring nuclear reactions at @TRIUMFLab , @FRIBLab and @IJCLab to understand how elements were made by massive stars.

For outstanding results in her Honours thesis, Martha Reece from the Australian National University receives the 2023 TH Laby Medal.
Her research advances our technical capability to study collective features of atomic nuclei through Coulomb excitation.

Fission of atomic nuclei is one of the most complex nuclear reaction processes. Using TDHF simulations of quasifission, #HIAF experts have observed how shell effects help determine quasifission outcomes.

Working with students on research projects is one of the best parts of my job. Many congratulations to Martha Reece on being awarded an ANU University Medal for her Honours research in nuclear physics and overall outstanding performance across her degree. 🎉🎉

[AJ Mitchell @nuclearaj]

@ARC_Tracker @arc_gov_au Just received the same email from them.

[Heavy Ion Accelerators @HIA_Accelerates]

Last fortnight, HIA welcomed Captain Kevin Quarderer of @USEmbAustralia to the Heavy Ion Accelerator Facility. Thank you for your enthusiasm and your support of the nuclear science training capabilities at #HIAF.

Great contributions from @nztjgray and @PMcGlynnn at the AIP Congress this morning.

[PhysicsANU @PhysicsANU]

Clever measurements of the surface of nuclei throw a proton amongst the pigeons.

@nuclearaj & colleagues find surprise results on nuclear binding energy that have them scratching their heads

ANU Dark Matter student, Nathan Spinks, has developed new techniques at #HIAF for pulse-shape discrimination of nuclear and electron recoils in a NaI:Tl crystal. This will increase the abilities of Australia's SABRE experiment to detect dark matter.

This week's #ThrowbackThursday, featuring HIAF's 14UD Tandem Accelerator!
Since its establishment in 1973, #HIAF has helped researchers discover nearby supernovae, unveiled ancient climate records, and aided the discovery new elements on the periodic table🔬

[Heavy Ion Accelerators @HIA_Accelerates]

🎓On Oct 26, #HIAF experts Lauren Bezzina and Ben Coombes will be presenting the SmartSat CRC Master Class on Radiation Protection for Space, representing both HIAF and NSQN.
