Description
ALTO is an international facility that provides in parallel stable and radioactive beams. The stable beam experiments are based on the operation of a 15 MV Tandem that can accelerate species from hydrogen up to iodine as well as clusters (C, Au …). The low-energy radioactive beams are produced using the photo-fission of UCx target. The experiments performed cover a large physics case from nuclear structure and astrophysics, atomic and cluster physics, biology and nano-technology.
A brief description of the facility will be given, illustrated with a few examples of recent results. The ongoing research program and the near-future projects and developments will be presented as well.
