212Po has been studied since 19161 and there have been numerous attempts to give a microscopic description of its structure, but with only 4 nucleons more than the doubly-magic 208Pb nucleus, the 212Po structure is still not well understood. Since the use of shell-model configurations failed to reproduce the large alpha-decay rate of the ground state, it has been completed by an alpha-cluster...
Classical novae outbursts are the third most energetic explosions in the Universe after gamma-ray bursts and supernovae. During this explosive burning, nucleosynthesis takes place and the newly synthesized material is ejected into the interstellar medium. In order to understand these objects, the study of presolar grains and γ-ray emitters are of specific interest since they can give direct...
