Welcome to Dr. Gregory Morozov
Wednesday 10 June, 2009 1:13 AM
We were recently joined by another new member of staff in Physics at UWS: Dr. Gregory Morozov . Gregory joined us as a Research Fellow in May 2009 and will make valuable contributions to teaching and research. He studied at the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology before carrying out his PhD at Windsor University in Canada. Prior to his arrival at UWS, he was working as a Research Associate at the University of Bristol.
AGATA: the world's most powerful gamma-ray spectrometer
Monday 23 February, 2009 5:20 PM
Researchers from the UWS nuclear
physics research group have recently
been awarded a research grant from
the Science and Technology Facilities
Council (STFC) to contribute towards
the construction of AGATA - the
Advanced Gamma Tracking Array.
Dr. John F. Smith and Professor
Robert Chapman have been awarded
a four-year research grant to help
commission and set up the array and
to carry out simulations of its
performance.
The AGATA spectrometer is presently being developed by a collaboration of over 40 instiitutions from 12 European countries.
In the UK, UWS will collaborate with the Universities of Liverpool, Manchester, York, Surrey and the STFC Daresbury Laboratory.
Dr. Smith with manage the UK involvement in all of the initial experiments. The AGATA spectrometer will detect gamma rays emitted following nuclear reactions with unprecedented
sensitivity, leading to a new understanding of the structure
of atomic nuclei and new nuclear-structure phenomena.
