The JYFL Accelerator Laboratory (JYFL-ACCLAB) is one of the leading stable beam facilities in Europe, conducting world class research on basic natural phenomena. Presently the laboratory hosts four accelerators with a variety of ion sources and innovative instrumentation for fundamental research, ion-beam based materials physics and applications. The current main research facilities includes...
The MIRACLS collaboration at CERN–ISOLDE has developed a novel experimental platform that combines ion-bunch confinement in a multi-reflection time-of-flight (MR-ToF) device with high-resolution collinear laser spectroscopy (CLS). When ions are bouncing back and forth between between the two electrostatic mirrors of the MR-ToF device, the ion-laser interaction time is dramatically increased...
Recent Total Absorption Spectroscopy (TAS) experiments at the ISOLDE have provided new nuclear data with implications spanning from nuclear astrophysics to medical applications.
In the astrophysical domain, the beta+/EC decay of the waiting-point nucleus 64Ge has been measured with the Lucrecia TAS setup. The resulting B(GT) distribution has been compared with theoretical calculations...
To explain the significant baryon asymmetry observed in the universe, a larger source of charge and parity (CP) violation is required [1]. Signatures of such CP-odd properties could be observed as small shifts in the transition frequencies of atoms and molecules [2,3]. Particularly, molecules have become the current most sensitive approach for CP-violation studies due to their strong internal...
Terbium-149 has been regarded as an attractive candidate for Targeted Alpha Therapy (TAT) since the 1990's [1], due to its favourable physical decay properties (T1/2 = 4.1 h, Eα = 3.97 MeV, 17%; Eβ+mean = 720 keV, 7%) [2]. Preclinical studies have demonstrated its therapeutic potential [3-6], as well as its potential for therapy monitoring via positron emission tomography (PET) [4]. The...
With its unique combination of an external magnetic field of up to 8.5 Tesla and the ability to heat and cool samples during measurements, the MULTIPAC Time-Differential Perturbed Angular Correlation (TDPAC) setup creates new possibilities for studying materials and their phase transitions. Building on this advanced instrumentation, the dedicated control and analysis software PACBit enables...
