This annual report of the Institute of Nuclear Physics at the Kernforschungsanlage Jülich covers the period from January to December 1978. It contains brief descriptions of the research activities and of the technical developments achieved or planned during this period.' Reports on the scientific results obtained by the various guest groups using our cyclotron JULIC have been incorporated as well. The Institute of Nuclear Physics consists of three units: The Institute for Experimental Nuclear Physics I, the Institute for Experimental Nuclear Physics II and the Institute for Theoretical Nuclear Physics. These Institutes are supported by the common groups: cyclotron, detector and target laboratory, electronics, on-linecomputer, technical design, workshops, radiation protection and administration. The centra] research facility of the Institute is the Jülich Isochronous Cyclotron (JULIC) which provides high and variable energy p-, d-, $^{3}$He- and $\alpha$-beams (range from 22 up to 45 MeV/nucleon). Most of the experimental research work was done at JULIC. In addition the research reactor DIDO with the on-line separator for fission fragments (JOSEF) and other equipment was used. The scientific exchange was again very intense due to guest groups using our cyclotron beams, our scientists carrying out research abroad and many guest scientists collaborating with the groups in the Institute. The Institute is primarily engaged in basic nuclear physics research and to some extent in applied physics programs. The main scientific activities were concentrated on investigations of different types of giant resonances and their decay, various nuclear reactions and scattering processes, continuous particle spectra and hybrid model analysis, fission, high-spin and very high-spin states, high- . spin isomers, special shell closures, K-X ray energy shifts, the structure, of neutron rich nuclei, n-induced processes, nucleon-nucleon interaction, Hartree- Fock theory and fundamental theoretical nuclear research. A significant part of the investigations of the theoretical institute, incorporated in this listing, was performed in close cooperation with the experimental work carried out at the facilities of the Institute. Applied physics work was mainly in the area of solar energy and in radio-isotope production for bio-medical applications. The scheduled operating time of the cyclotron JULIC was 6960 h in 1978. A total of 83 % of this time could be used for experiments. About 21 % of the beam time was made available for external groups. In addition, about 10 % of the beam time was used by other institutes of the Kernforschungsanlage Jülich. By the end of 1978, the magnetspectrograph "Big Karl" to be used for precision experiments with the JULIC was put into operation. In 1978 a proposal for a new accelerator has been submitted. It aims at system of coupled superconducting cyclotrons with an external Mafios ion source. This system should produce high and variable energy beams of light as well as of heavy ions. The maximum energies for two coupled N=4 cyclotrons are planned to be about 250 MeV/nucleon for light ions and up to about 100 MeV/nucleon for heavy ions up to U. The work described in this Annual Report was technically supported by other groups of the Kernforschungsanlage Julich and in particular by the common groups in our Institute. Many members of these groups could not be mentioned explicitly in this report. Therefore I take this opportunity to express my sincere thanks for their good work on which the scientific and technical achievements reported here are based. |
