Nuclear reaction cross sections are important for a variety of applications in the areas of
astrophysics, nuclear energy, and national security. When these cross sections cannot be …

The experimental and theoretical evidence for octupole collectivity in nuclei is reviewed.
Recent theoretical advances, covering a wide spectrum from mean-field theory to algebraic …

The rapid-neutron capture process (r process) is identified as the producer of about 50% of
elements heavier than iron. This process requires an astrophysical environment with an …

We present an account of the current status of the theoretical treatment of inclusive (d, p)
reactions in the breakup-fusion formalism, pointing to some applications and making the …

The nuclei below lead but with more than 126 neutrons are crucial to an understanding of
the astrophysical r process in producing nuclei heavier than A∼ 190. Despite their …

The single-particle properties of Mg 29 have been investigated via a measurement of the Mg
28 (d, p) Mg 29 reaction, in inverse kinematics, using the ISOLDE Solenoidal Spectrometer …

This article aims at covering various low energy nuclear physics themes that can benefit
from taking advantage of active targets and time projection chambers. They are naturally …

To a high degree many aspects of the large-scale behavior of objects in the Universe are
governed by the underlying nuclear physics. In fact the shell structure of nuclear physics is …

Superconducting nanowire single photon detectors are capable of single-photon detection
across a large spectral range with near unity detection efficiency, picosecond timing jitter …

The ISOLDE facility at CERN offers the largest selection of ISOL beams today. The overall
aim of the HIE-ISOLDE project is to enlarge the physics domains achievable with these …
