Operation and New Developments I

In line with the previous years, RILIS has been the favored ion source at ISOLDE in 2023, with more than 65% of the ion beams produced from April to November, including the winter physics program. In that period of time, more than 20 different elements were ionized using lasers at ISOLDE.
The stable operation of RILIS and fast switching in-between the elements was possible thanks to the...
The assumption of universal magic numbers, i.e. closed nuclear shells, all across the nuclear chart has been a fundamental paradigm of the nuclear shell model. However, when exploring nuclides far away from stability, a disappearance of well-established shell closures can be encountered, which, for instance, manifests itself in the island of inversion around N = 20 [1].
Describing this shell...
The Isotope mass Separator On-Line facility (ISOLDE) [1] at CERN provides the largest variety of low-energy radioactive beams available worldwide, including some of the most exotic nuclear species. The beams can be post-accelerated by the HIE-ISOLDE LINAC [2] up to ~ 10 MeV/nucleon, and delivered for experiments at the Miniball detector system for gamma spectroscopy studies, the ISOLDE...
