The results of this experiment will illuminate the inner workings of exotic nuclei, which is itself crucial to our understanding of how stars evolve, explode, and create the matter that we see around us.
The T2K (Tokai-to-Kamioka) experiment will further explore the oscillation properties of neutrinos by using a high energy particle accelerator now under construction at Tokai, on the east coast of Japan, to produce an intense, nearly monoenergetic beam of man-made neutrinos.
The focus of the Mount Allison University muon chemistry group, led by Dr. Khashayar Ghandi, is the study of green chemistry, and chemical dynamics using muons as microscopic probes.
