Description
The study of exotic nuclei is essential for understanding the behavior of protons and neutrons in nuclei and for exploring the origin of the elements. The low-energy accelerator of the Rare Isotope Beam Facility called RAON in Korea successfully delivered a stable $^{40}$Ar beam for domestic users last year and is expected to provide additional stable and rare isotope beams in the near future. One of experimental facilities called KoBRA will play a central role in early-phase experiments on nuclear structure and nuclear astrophysics. The Center for Exotic Nuclear Studies (CENS) at the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) was established to perform experiments with both stable and rare isotope beams at leading international facilities such as RIKEN and FRIB, as well as at RAON. To support these efforts, CENS is actively developing advanced detector systems and experimental devices. This presentation will highlight recent research activities at CENS and provide a brief update on user experiments at RAON.
