The physics of neutrinoless double beta decay has tremendous implications on particle physics, cosmology and fundamental physics. In particular, the nuclear matrix elements entering in the expression of the half-life of this process play a crucial role.
The possibility to use heavy-ion induced reactions and in particular double charge exchange reactions as tools for extracting information on...
The BigRIPS projectile fragment separator$^{1,2}$ is presently the most powerful device for the research of exotic nuclei separated in flight. The scientific merits and potential of the BigRIPS and its combination with the ZeroDegree spectrometer$^2$ have been demonstrated in many dif-ferent experiments since more than 10 years$^3$.
The intensity of the primary beam provided by the...
The Isochronous Separator with Large Acceptance (ISLA) has been identified by the ReA12 Recoil Separator working group of the FRIB Users Organization as the single device that meets the needs of all the physics cases proposed by the community for studies with reaccelerated rare isotope beams from ReA at FRIB. ReA will reaccelerate stopped FRIB beams to energies ideal for transfer reactions,...
The FRagment Separator FRS at GSI is primarily a powerful in-flight separator for short-lived exotic nuclei based on multiple magnetic rigidity analysis (B$\rho_{max}$=18 Tm) and atomic energy loss in shaped matter. The quadrupole magnets determine the focal-plane conditions and the hexapole magnets can be used to correct aberrations, which play a crucial role for projectile fragments...
A new ISOL rare isotope beam production facility, ARIEL, is under construction at TRIUMF. ARIEL aims at increasing the delivery of radioactive beams three fold with respect to the present capability of the ISAC facility. Part of ARIEL is the new CANREB equipment that can be described by the two main functionalities: a charge breeding system that includes RFQ cooler, EBIS and Nier separator,...
The DESIR (Désintégration, Excitation et Stockage d’Ions Radioactifs) facility is part of the new equipment necessary for the exploitation of the radioactive beams produced by SPIRAL2. DESIR includes a laboratory equipped with beam lines for low-energy experiments that can receive nuclides from the SPIRAL1, SPIRAL2 and S3 installations at GANIL. DESIR also includes an important instrument for...
