Over this period, collision data...

The Belle II experiment at the SuperKEKB energy-asymmetric e$^+$e$^−$ collider is a substantial upgrade of the B factory facility at the Japanese KEK laboratory. The target luminosity of the machine is 6×$10^{35}$ cm$^{−2}$s$^{−1}$ and the Belle II experiment aims to record 50 ab$^{−1}$ of data, a factor of 50 more than its predecessor. With this data set, Belle II will be able to measure the...
The storage of freshly produced radioactive particles in a storage ring is a straightforward way to achieve the most efficient use of such rare species as it allows for using the same rare ion multiple times. Employing storage rings for precision physics experiments with highly-charged ions (HCI) at the intersection of atomic, nuclear, plasma and astrophysics is a rapidly developing field of...

ALICE is currently completing major upgrades for LHC Run 3 and in the meantime further projects are already underway. ALICE is developing thinned wafer-sized monolithic active pixel sensors to replace the inner tracking layers during the Long Shutdown 3. This resulting detector will have an unprecedented low material budget, and consequently drastically reduced interaction probabilities and...

The ISOLDE Facility at CERN is the world’s leading facility for the production of radioactive ion beams (RIBs) using the ISOL (Isotope Separation On-Line) method. Over 1000 isotopes of more than 70 elements have been produced by the impact of a 1.4 GeV proton beam on a variety of targets and using different ion sources for providing beams at 40-50 keV energy. Purified isotope/isomer beams...
In nuclear medicine methods the early diagnostics and detection of malignancies is an important problem. To obtain information about functional, anatomic, metabolic processes in the tumors or in the metastatic nodes one can effectively use the different radiopharmaceuticals.

Introduction: Particle therapy, a non-invasive technique for treating cancer using protons and light ions, has become more and more common, e.g. Norway has decided to build two particle treatment facilities, one of which will be located in Bergen. Being able to position the Bragg peak accurately is a major advantage of protons and light ions, but incomplete knowledge about the tissue...

Cancer is a critical societal issue. Worldwide, in 2018 alone, 18.1 million cases were diagnosed, 9.6 million people died, and 43.8 million people were living with cancer. Radiation therapy (RT) is a fundamental component of effective cancer treatment and control. It is estimated that about half of all cancer patients would benefit from radiotherapy for treatment of localised disease, local...
The majority of total and partial photoneutron reaction cross sections were obtained for about 150 nuclei from 3H to 239Pu at Livermore (USA) and Saclay (France) [1]. Those data [2] are widely used in many basic research and applications.

The modern theory of the structure of light nuclei is dynamically developing due to the introduction of ab initio (from first principles) methods of describing nuclear systems. An essential place among such methods is occupied by various versions of No-Core Shell Model (NCSM) (see, for example, [1]) that uses realistic NN potentials to describe the interaction of nucleons. Usually, these...
