nuClock growths with the addition of associate members

/in /by

The core of the nuClock project is formed by eight European groups, which receive funding from the European Union. The nuClock team seeks to attract more and more scientists into the field of research on Th-229, and to foster communication and synergies among all Thorium groups world-wide. In order to increase the visibility of strong links to partners outside of the project core, we have established a group of so-called nuClock associates. These people or research groups are on the nuClock mailing list, they are invided to all meetings and are formally tied to the nuClock project. Our newly appointed associates are:

  • Piet van Duppen, KU Leuven (experimental search for the Th-229 isomeric transition)
  • Christoph E. Düllmann, GSI & Mainz University (radiochemisty and preparation of uranium and thorum samples)
  • Rukang Li & Xiaoyang Wang, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing (growth of KBBF crystals)
  • Koji Yoshimura, Okayama University (X-ray excitation of Th-229 at SPring-8)
  • Thomas Stöhlker, Jena (X-ray lenses)
  • Atsushi Yamaguchi, RIKEN (Th-229 and other optical clocks)
  • José Crespo, Heidelberg (EBITs, highly charged ions for clocks)
  • Kerstin Ergenzinger, Berlin (artist within the FEAT project)
