The ACTAR TPC [1,2] detector has been designed as a versatile device for reaction and decay studies in nuclear physics. It is a gas detector working as a time projection chamber (TPC), than can be used either in “active target” mode where the gas is used as a target for the nuclear reaction or as an active stopper for implantation-decay experiments. The first experimental campaigns took place...
The recoil-decay correlation technique is a powerful tool to perform spectroscopic studies of exotic nuclei produced with very low cross sections. The characteristic alpha or proton decays (or decay chains) observed at the focal plane of a recoil separator provide a straightforward way to identify the produced nuclei and allows to “tag” the prompt or delayed gamma-rays emitted by the nucleus...
In the past few decades, nuclear physics research has seen tremendous progress as several radioactive-ion beam facilities with unprecedented beam intensities are coming online around the world. These facilities open up the way to access and
study the most exotic nuclei ever produced on earth, bringing us closer to the elusive nuclear systems that play a crucial role in astrophysical sites such...
