Several of the most promising searches of physics beyond the standard model of particle physics are led by low-energy experiments. Typically, these searches involve atoms and the sensitivity to new physics is given by interactions involving the atomic nucleus. Therefore, the structure of these nuclei is key to interpret the experimental results. This information is usually encoded into a...
The target and ion source groups are responsible for developing the ISOLDE target and ion source units. In order to fulfill the high demand for new beams, higher beam purity and intensity, and more resistant targets, development of beams and targets is necessary. Recent developments in ISOLDE targets will be presented.
In addition, future experiments at CERN will require protons, which will...
Neutron-rich nuclei near doubly-magic 132Sn offer a valuable testing ground for exploring both nuclear structure and the astrophysical r-process. Investigation of neutron-branching ratios in this region offers benchmark testing of theoretical descriptions of neutron-rich nuclei, and the N = 82 shell closure provides an isotonic chain of waiting-point nuclei critical to r-process trajectories...
In this gamma spectroscopy analysis, we aim to measure the spectroscopic quadrupole moments of excited states and electromagnetic transition rates in neutron-deficient 140Sm. The experimental data was collected during a Coulomb excitation experiment at ISOLDE in 2017, utilizing a 140Sm beam on a 208Pb target and the Miniball HPGe array alongside a CD particle detector.
The chain of samarium...
Dynamic Nuclear Polarisation (DNP) is powerful technique for enhancing the sensitivity of Nuclear Magnectic Resonance (NMR). Originally developed in 1960s, the DNP has been deployed in nuclear polarised targets around the world for high-energy scattering experiments. In the last 20 years DNP found its way back in modern NMR spectroscopy and imagining. There are currently very few commercially...
