New modes of radioactivity

invited

Two-proton radioactivity is the latest nuclear decay mode discovered. It consists of the emission of a pair of protons from a nuclear ground state. According to the definition by V. Goldanskii who was the first to discuss this new type of radioactivity extensively, one-proton radioactivity is not allowed to be an open decay channel for two-proton radioactivity (2p) candidates. In pioneering...

Thanks to its well-established theory, beta-decay is a useful tool to study the peculiar features present in light exotic nuclei, such as halos and cluster structures. In such systems, beta decay is characterised by large Q-values and low breakup thresholds in the daughter nuclei, so that feeding to continuum states and delayed emission of nucleons and light ions become possible. To study...

Hans Bethe was the first to establish the concept of nucleon synthesis in stars [1] proposing the CNO cycle and the PP chain, but was unsuccessful in solving the 12C formation mechanism. Not until the introduction of the Hoyle state [2] in 1953 one was getting close to a solution. However, 50 years later the 12C break-up is still not fully solved and the quest for learning more about the...
