47. MAYA active target for the study of extremely exotic nuclei

Herve Savajols (GANIL)

This talk will discuss some recent experiments using the MAYA active target at GANIL and TRIUMF.

9. Breakup of the 18.2 MeV state in 11Be: New decay modes.

Mr Miguel Madurga Flores (Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Cientificas (CSIC))

The $^{11}$Li $\beta$-decay offers a unique window to understand the nuclear structure far beyond the valley of stability. The $\beta$-delayed charged particle emission of $^{11}$Li has been the subject of several previous studies [1-4]. The established channels involve the emission $\alpha$ particles (2$\alpha$+3n), $^6$He ($^6$He+$\alpha$+n), tritons ($^8$Li+t), deuterons ($^9$Li+d) and the...

31. Studies of the 12C nucleus using beta-decay of 12N and 12B

Solveig Hyldegaard (Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of Aarhus)

Experimental studies of the 12C nucleus are important to both nuclear theory and astrophysics. Improved knowledge of states in 12C is necessary for our understanding of the triple alpha reaction in stars. Especially the Hoyle state at just 0.38 MeV above the triple alpha threshold is vital for this process, but also a predicted 2+ state at 1.7 MeV above the triple alpha threshold in 12C...

29. Beta-asymmetry measurements as a probe for non standard model physics

Mr Frederik Wauters (katholieke universiteit leuven)

19/12/2007, 10:20

The status of the beta-asymmetry measurements project will be presented. In these experiments we measure the beta-asymmetry parameter which is sensitive to deviations from the V – A character of the weak interaction, more precisely to tensor currents. The experimental technique we use to create a polarized ensemble of nuclei is low temperature nuclear orientation (LTNO). The first...

2. IS456 - Ground and isomer state properties of the neutron-deficient polonium isotopes using the ISOLDE RILIS

Thomas E. Cocolios (Instituut voor Kern- en Stralingsfysica)

19/12/2007, 10:40

For many years, the RILIS has provided very clean beams for ISOLDE. It is now also a tool used for precision measurement of nuclear ground and isomer state properties. Combining the laser spectroscopy technique in the ion source itself with the high sensitivity and precision of nuclear spectroscopy, it is possible to extract optical spectra for very exotic nuclei as was demonstrated with the...
