39. Gas catchers for radioactive ion beam research

Prof. Mark Huyse (IKS)

08/02/2006, 16:10

A gas can be a good alternative to a solid or liquid to catch, store and transport radioactive ions, especially for short-living species and/or isotopes from refractory elements. A short overview of the evolution in gas catchers will be given. Then the different processes taking place in gas-catchers and influencing the overal behavior will be discussed. The contribution will end by a...

1. Astrophysics using Radioaluminum beams at REX-ISOLDE

Prof. John D'Auria (Simon Fraser University)

08/02/2006, 16:40

This project involves two main components, namely the development of a ISOLDE production target (or targets) for the release of short-lived proton and/or neutron- rich aluminum isotopes, and to subsequently to use such beams, e.g. 25,26mAl to initiate a program in nuclear astrophysics using REX-ISOLDE involving particle transfer reactions and elastic/inelastic scattering reactions. Of...

34. Nuclear Astrophysics with MINIBALL

Dr Sotirios Harissopulos (Institute of Nuclear Physics, NCSR "Demokritos")

The origin in the cosmos of the so-called p nuclei is one of the most puzzling tasks to be solved by any model of heavy-element nucleosynthesis. These nuclei are by-passed by the s- and r-process pathways. To date, these nuclei have been observed only in the solar system. Understanding the synthesis of these p-process nuclei on the basis of astrophysical processes occurring outside the...
