معرفی
Dr. Frank Wienholtz is a researcher at the Institute for Nuclear Physics (IKP) at Technical University of Darmstadt, Germany, specializing in experimental nuclear physics with radioactive nuclei. His work centers on precision measurements of exotic nuclei and development of novel experimental techniques for nuclear structure studies.
His research focuses on:
- Nuclear mass spectrometry using Penning traps and multi-reflection time-of-flight devices
- Hypernuclear physics and antiproton annihilation studies with radioactive targets
- Investigations of nuclear fission mechanisms and shell effects in neutron-rich systems
- Development of beamlines and ion-optical systems for low-energy antiproton and ion beams
- Applications in nuclear astrophysics, particularly r-process nucleosynthesis
Wienholtz is a key contributor to major international collaborations including PUMA (antiProton Unstable Matter Annihilation) at CERN, the HYPER hypernuclei factory project, and the NEXT setup for neutron-rich exotic nuclei. His recent publications demonstrate expertise in mass measurements of Ag, In, and noble gas isotopes, molecular beam production of radioactive actinides, and precision studies of nuclear charge radii using antiproton annihilation. These works frequently appear in high-impact journals covering nuclear structure, accelerator physics, and nuclear astrophysics.
