The GANIL facility has a wide range beams ranging from intense stable and short-lived unstable beams (ISOL and fragmentation) including a variety of unique and state of art equipments. These are used to study the evolution of the properties of the quantum many body system, the nucleus, as a function of the three axis of nuclear physics namely excitation energy, angular momentum and the...
We provide a comprehensive discussion of the phenomenology of flavourful axions, including both standard Peccei-Quinn (PQ) axions, associated with the solution to the strong CP problem, and non-standard axion-like particles (ALPs). Presenting the general flavourful axion-fermion and axion-photon coupling, we calculate flavour-violating decays of mesons and leptons involving a flavourful axion....
By considering the nucleus as a vibrating liquid drop, and assuming the potential to be a function of the elongation β, and triaxiality γ, of the nucleus, the Bohr Hamiltonian can be solved to give the so-called K=0+, β-vibrational and K=2+ γ-vibrational bands. However, as summarized in the review by Garrett[1], very few of the observed 0+2 bands in deformed nuclei possess the properties...
The progress of nuclear instrumentation in the last hundred years is described. Some of the landmark discoveries, which became possible due to the development of new instrumentation, are explained. A connection between the early developments and the state of the art instrumentation is made.
