The first accelerated exotic beam of the SPIRAL (“Production System of
Radioactive Ion and Acceleration On-Line”) facility at GANIL at Caen has been
delivered for experiments in September 2001. After working for almost 5 years,
32 experiments were performed in the facility using exotic isotopes of helium,
oxygen, neon, argon and krypton. The intensities of the radioactive beams...

EXCYT (EXotics with CYclotron and Tandem) is a ISOL facility located at INFN-LNS to
produce and accelerate radioactive ion beams. The primary heavy ion beam provided by
the K-800 Superconducting Cyclotron (up to 80 MeV/amu, 1 pµA) generates, in a
target-ion source complex (TIS), the required nuclear species which will be
post-accelerated by the 15 MV Tandem.
For some ion beam such as for...

Type I X-ray bursts, thermonuclear runaways on the surface of an accreting
neutron star in a binary system, are one of the known sites for the rapid proton
capture process (rp-process)[1,2]. After accumulation of material, mainly
hydrogen and helium, on the surface of the neutron star, the triple-alpha
reaction triggers a series of fast (a,p) and (p,g) reactions, with subsequent
beta...

New results will be presented for the structure of neutron-rich Fe nuclei based on data from deep inelastic scattering
studies with GAMMASPHERE and beta decay of Mn nuclei at ISOLDE isolated with the Resonance Ionization Laser
Ion Source. In particular, the low-energy levels in 64Fe are found to be well described by shell-model calculations
using pf –shell neutrons and protons. The...
