Tibor Kibedi

Dr. T. Kibedi is an Emeritus Professor at the University of Melbourne, where he was a member of the School of Physics. He has made significant contributions to nuclear physics, particularly in the areas of conversion-electron and pair-conversion spectroscopy, and the study of nuclear structure and decay processes. His research has focused on understanding the properties of atomic nuclei, including the investigation of shape coexistence, superdeformation, and the behavior of nuclear isomers. Dr. Kibedi has also contributed to the development of experimental techniques for studying nuclear properties and has been involved in international collaborations to advance nuclear data and applications in medicine and industry. His work has been published in numerous scientific journals and has had a lasting impact on the field of nuclear physics.

Tibor Kibedi's research focuses on nuclear structure, electric monopole transitions, nuclear shape coexistence, internal electron and pair conversion, and atomic radia. His work explores electric monopole transitions between 0+ states across the periodic table, candidate chiral bands in nuclei like 134La, and K-forbidden transitions from multi-quasiparticle states. He investigates configurations and hindered decays of K isomers in deformed nuclei, multi-quasiparticle and rotational structures in 179W, and non-yrast states in heavy-osmium isotopes. Kibedi also studies incomplete fusion as a spectroscopic tool and recommends nuclear data for medical radioisotope production, including diagnostic positron and gamma emitters. His research contributes to understanding nuclear shape coexistence and collective structures in heavy nuclei.
