Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJack Henderson is a UKRI Future Leaders Fellow and nuclear-structure physicist with 11 years’ experience specializing in gamma-ray spectroscopy of exotic nuclei. His PhD introduced and enhanced the recoil-beta tagging technique to identify excited states in extremely neutron-deficient systems such as 74Sr, and he has since applied similar skills across international facilities including TRIUMF and Lawrence Livermore. He combines hands-on detector development—redesigning the UoYtube charged-particle veto array and working with semiconductor, gas, and scintillation detectors—with expertise in digital data-acquisition systems. Jack’s work spans experiment design, hardware prototyping and complex data analysis, exemplified by analyses from Gammasphere and Jyvaskyla campaigns. Based in the UK, he bridges academic research and applied instrumentation development, often integrating industrial-collaboration insights into experimental setups. He is notable for translating niche experimental techniques into more sensitive, deployable systems that enable measurements of increasingly exotic nuclei.
