Executive Summary
We are developing a novel method for systematically studying the evolution of the nuclear equation of state of two isotopes of tin by measuring their low-energy nuclear dipole strength over a broad range of neutron-to-proton ratios. Our measurements will support nuclear weapons science by providing highly accurate experimental data for improving microscopic nuclear models and calculations of astrophysical nucleosynthesis and neutron star structure.
