At the end of my work for fulfilling the PhD, 1995-1998, I wrote my PhD thesis:
"Neutron pre-emission investigation for 11Li halo nuclei and Si fusion"
under coordination of:
Coordinator Professor: Marius Petrascu.
All my activity during this period of time (exams, reports, defending the PhD thesis) was performed at the Bucharest University, Physics College, Magurele.
My PhD work started in 1995 and ended in June 1998, when I defended my PhD thesis.
PhD Diploma in Nuclear Physics was released in December 1998.
My PhD thesis contribution was in analyzing and interpretting the experimental results from a radioactive beam experiment 11Li + Si held in RIKEN, Japan. This experiment, proposed by Professor Marius Petrascu, was searching for a novel behaviour of the so called halo nuclei, which was on the top of interest of these types of weakly bound nuclei, immediately after they were discovered by Professor Isao Tanihata.
