The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) proposes to provide financial assistance to Michigan State University for scientific research related to Asymmetric Nuclear Matter under Extreme Conditions. Michigan State University proposes to perform research involving 1) Establishing a program at the NSCL/MSU to measure fission barriers of rare isotopes, and 2) Constraining the density and momentum dependence of symmetry energy at densities above saturation at the NSCL and at RIKEN, Japan.
