Neutron-proton pairing is the only pairing that can occur in the T=0 and the T=1 isospin channels. T=1 particle-like pairing (n-n or p-p) has been extensively studied unlike T=0 neutron-proton pairing. The over-binding of N=Z nuclei could be one of its manifestation.
Neutron-proton pairing can be studied by spectroscopy as in ref.[1].We have studied it through transfer reactions in order to...
The evolution of the traditional nuclear magic numbers away from the valley of stability has gathered attention in recent years. Experimental efforts focus on obtaining key spectroscopic information that will provide great insight into the structure of exotic nuclei in order to understand the driving mechanism behind the shell evolution.
Recently, $\rm ^AN$(p,2p)$\rm ^{A-1}C$ quasi-free...
Direct reactions are fundamental tools to investigate the structure of exotic nuclei. Studies of nuclei far away from stability are usually performed with secondary radioactive beams, that suffer from low intensities and need to be compensated with thick targets and high efficient detection systems to increase luminosity. Active targets are invaluable devices that, among other important...
Experiments looking for near-threshold resonances in weakly bound nuclei provide a direct link between nuclear reactions and nuclear structure, via the interaction of discrete states with the continuum.
These states, located near the particle-decay threshold, accumulate most of the continuum
strength in a single state and couple strongly to the decay-channel, exhausting most of the...
The $R^{3}B$ (Reactions with Relativistic Radioactive ion Beams) experiment at the research facility FAIR, currently under construction in Darmstadt, enables kinematically complete reaction studies for the most exotic nuclei.
The S444 commissioning experiment for $R^{3}B$, performed in the FAIR Phase-0 campaign in 2019, was the first operation of many new $R^{3}B$ detectors in a common setup....
