معرفی
Thomas Day Goodacre is a Research Fellow in the Department of Physics & Astronomy at the University of Manchester. His research focuses on nuclear physics, particularly isotopic studies, ion sources, and laser spectroscopy. He investigates exotic nuclei's properties using advanced techniques like resonance ionization spectroscopy and Coulomb excitation. Key contributions include work at TRIUMF and ISOLDE facilities, with recent studies on Sn, Zn, and gold isotopes. He holds the Dame Kathleen Ollerenshaw Fellowship and collaborates internationally on projects like the EPSRC-funded University of Manchester Core Equipment initiative.
Research interests span nuclear structure, isotope effects, and hyperfine interactions. His work bridges theoretical models (shell, density functional) with experimental techniques, advancing understanding of nuclear deformation and shell evolution in light exotic nuclei. Recent projects emphasize optimizing ion source performance and temperature measurement methods for accelerator targets.
Scientific achievements include 66+ publications, with highlights in Physical Review C and Nuclear Instruments and Methods. He leads collaborative efforts in developing radioactive ion beam technologies and has been cited in news outlets and scholarly platforms like Mendeley.
