Abstract

The main goal of this project is to provide an insight to the student about the development of the required instrumentation for nuclear physics measurements. The measurements will be carry out in the 8 MV tandem accelerator, installed at the Laboratório Aberto de Física Nuclear of IFUSP. The student will join the GRIPe group of the Nuclear Physics department of IFUSP. He will take part of the nuclear physics campaign initiated last year. The main reactions to be investigated are 6Li,9Be,11B120Sn. (AU)
