Low Energy Nuclear Reactions
The members of the “Low energy nuclear reactions” team work on the following different themes:
- Determination of cross sections for ion beam analysis purposes.
- Equation of state and phase transition of nuclear matter.
- Stopping power and effective charge of 16O, 19F and 28Si ions in thin mylar and polypropylene films: we are interested in the slowing down of charged particles in solid targets. An experimental study concerning the measurement of the stopping power and the effective charge of heavy ions 16O, 19F and 28Si in mylar and polypropylene polymer films in an energy range from 1.6 to 5.5 MeV/n (Bethe region) is carried out. by our research group. Our results are found to be in good agreement with those generated by the SRIM-2008, CasP, MSTAR and PASS calculation codes. We plan to carry out calculations of the effective charge on the scale of Z^4 and the Barkas correction of these ions.
- Statistical application of experimental plans in the field of renewable energies: Generally, modeling the operation of a PV system is based on its physical, electronic and energetic behavior as a function of illumination and temperature. These models often involve transcendent functions such as exponentials. We introduce a new approach, that of the design of experiments method which uses statistical tools. Operation is described using a mathematical model, always in polynomial form, established from experimental measurements.
