The γ-ray beam under construction at the ELI-NP facility is projected to provide users with high-energy, high-intensity and narrow-bandwidth photon beams for nuclear structure studies. This will open the possibilities for user to use monochromatic photon beams in a European facility for photonuclear data. Some examples of these are nuclear Jπ = 1- level densities, the electric dipole photon...
Neutron-induced reaction cross sections of short-lived nuclei are essential for astrophysics and applications in nuclear technology. However, these cross sections are very difficult or impossible to measure due to the difficulty to produce and handle the necessary radioactive targets. We are developing a project that uses for the first time surrogate reactions in inverse kinematics at a...
The NFS (Neutrons for Science) facility at Ganil in Caen, France, offers unique worldwide fluxes of neutron beams ranging from 1 to 40 MeV. These neutrons are produced via p+Li or d+Be reactions, made possible by the beams delivered by the SPIRAL-2 linear accelerator. The resulting collimated, pulsed neutron beam enables several experiments to be performed simultaneously. In addition to the...
The neutron capture process represents the dominant transmutation reaction open in neutron-rich environments at energies below a few hundred keV. As such, it is essential for understanding the evolution of material in such diverse environments as stellar burning or nuclear reactors. While past decades have seen substantial experimental work on stable isotopes, for many unstable isotopes, we...
