Bio
Dr S Nara Singh Bondili is a Lecturer in the the Nuclear Physics Group - joined in July 2018. Â Dr. Bondili works on projects in the areas of nuclear structure and nuclear astrophysics that are aimed at addressing some of the key questions in nuclear physics - answering which has been the focus of several large-scale projects at the world-class facilities.
Dr. Bondili has a well-established collaboration with the experimental and the theoretical groups around the world.
Area of academic expertise - outline
Nuclear Structure and Nuclear Astrophysics
Fundamental research of academic interest and societal benefits
Nuclear Structure
The projects are focused on answering some of the key questions. How and why certain nuclei at the center of ‘spherical atom’ take exotic non-spherical shapes. What is the difference between proton-proton, neutron-neutron, and proton-neutron interaction? What are the individual influences of these interactions on structural properties of nuclei, especially, around the N=Z line of the nuclear chart? What are the conditions that govern the stability of superheavy nuclei, for example, against particle decays.
​
Experimental work is carried out using reactions such as fusion-evaporation reactions and inelastic (Coulomb + Coulomb-nuclear) excitation at Jyvaskyla-Finland, CERN-Switzerland, GANIL-France, Koln/GSI-Germany, ANL-Argonne, USA and MSU-Michigan, USA. Gamma-ray and charged particle detection methods or plunger techniques are used.
Nuclear Astrophysics
Studies of nuclear reactions that govern chemical evolution of the Universe - e.g., one of the proton-proton chain reactions in the Sun that addresses an abundance puzzle and connects nuclear physics to the standard model of particle physics.
Measurement of reaction rates by directly counting the reaction products using mass separators or through gamma-ray detection. Â Facilities such as TRIUMF, Canada, and the CMAM accelerator facility, Spain are used to carry out these projects.
