Working with students on research projects is one of the best parts of my job. Many congratulations to Martha Reece on being awarded an ANU University Medal for her Honours research in nuclear physics and overall outstanding performance across her degree. 🎉🎉
Clever measurements of the surface of nuclei throw a proton amongst the pigeons.
@nuclearaj & colleagues find surprise results on nuclear binding energy that have them scratching their heads

ANU Dark Matter student, Nathan Spinks, has developed new techniques at #HIAF for pulse-shape discrimination of nuclear and electron recoils in a NaI:Tl crystal. This will increase the abilities of Australia's SABRE experiment to detect dark matter.

Fascinating visit with @FCDOGovUK#IndoPacific Minister @annietrev to @ANUmedia’s Heavy Ion Accelerator facility. An opportunity to better understand #Australia’s sovereign nuclear capability with one eye on our #AUKUS partnership.

This week's #ThrowbackThursday, featuring HIAF's 14UD Tandem Accelerator!
Since its establishment in 1973, #HIAF has helped researchers discover nearby supernovae, unveiled ancient climate records, and aided the discovery new elements on the periodic table🔬
In September 2022, #HIAF was honoured to host the Australian Safeguards and Non-Proliferation Office (ASNO) for a demonstration of how nuclear technology and material contribute to cutting-edge, peaceful research!
