Zakopane 2026 Conference on Nuclear Physics

At the VITO beamline at ISOLDE, we use optical pumping to polarise nuclear spins of beams of different short-lived nuclei [1]. We then use the resulting anisotropic emission of beta radiation in a variety of fields, from nuclear structure, via material science, all the way to biology.
Recently, we have used $^{47,49,51}$K for a proof-of-principle experiment in decay spectroscopy of...

Charge-changing reactions (CCRs) at intermediate energies are an experimentally simple yet valuable tool for exploring the complex reaction mechanisms and exotic structures of rare isotopes.
Based on years of experimental studies at RIBLL2/HIRFL and FRS/GSI, our collaboration has investigated CCRs of more than 60 p-sd shell nuclei on various targets at approximately 300 and 900 MeV/nucleon....

The Gamma-Ray Energy Tracking Array (GRETA) is 4pi detector designed to study a broad science program in nuclear structure over a wide range of beam energies and velocities from Coulomb barrier to 100’s MeV/A. It combines highly segmented HPGe crystals with advanced digital electronics and signal processing to identify individual gamma-ray interaction points within the crystals to...

The AGATA γ-ray tracking array represents the state of the art in in-beam gamma-ray spectroscopy, exploiting the high segmentation of High Purity Germanium detectors to achieve position sensitivity and gamma-ray tracking via pulse-shape analysis [1,2]. Installed in April 2022 at the Tandem–ALPI–PIAVE accelerator complex of INFN Laboratori Nazionali di Legnaro, AGATA has operated with beam...
