The more diffusive skin of neutrons in Pb-208 has a wide range of implications ranging from nuclear structure to heavy ion collisions to neutron stars. In this talk I will present the first determination from relativistic heavy ion collisions at the LHC, which is complementary to dedicated studies such as by the PREX collaboration at JLab. In particular I will show that the larger size of the...
Modern physics experiments usually rely on big experimental setup where it is possible to find a wide variety of detectors: silicon microstrip trackers or other solid state detectors, plastic scintillator calorimeters, LAr cryostats readout by a Time Projection Chamber, spectrometers composed of several drift tubes and resistive plate chambers. Moreover, detector granularity and precision...
In this talk, I shall discuss a project that may significantly broaden the present CERN research program by including a new component — the novel-type light source. The proposed, partially-stripped-ion-beam-driven light source is the backbone of the Gamma Factory project being presently studied within the PBC framework. It could be realized at CERN by re-using the infrastructure of the...
