This paper reviews the main microwave diagnostic techniques and tools adopted in electron
cyclotron resonance (ECR)(and others) ion source laboratories, with a special focus on …

In stars that lie on the main sequence in the Hertzsprung-Russel diagram, like our sun,
hydrogen is fused to helium in a number of nuclear reaction chains and series, such as the …

Asymptotic giant branch stars are responsible for the production of most of the heavy
isotopes beyond Sr observed in the solar system. Among them, isotopes shielded from the r …

The next years will see the completion of several new facilities at Istituto Nazionale di Fisica
Nucleare–Laboratori Nazionali del Sud (LNS) opening up new possibilities in the fields of …

We analyze the 55 134Cs 56 134Ba and 55 135Cs 56 135Ba β− decays, which are
crucial production channels for Ba isotopes in asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars. We …

In the frame of the PANDORA project, a new experimental approach aims at measuring in-
plasma β-decay rate as a function of thermodynamical conditions of the environment …

Over the past decade, experimental microscopy and spectroscopy have made significant
progress in the study of the morphological, optical, electronic and transport properties of …

The main aim of Plasmas for Astrophysics Nuclear Decays Observation and Radiation for
Archaeometry (PANDORA) project is to build a compact and flexible magnetic plasma trap …

The measurement of β-decay rates in plasma, simulating stellar-like conditions, is of high
interest for the investigation of radionuclides involved in nuclear astrophysics processes. In …

Electromagnetic transients known as kilonovae (KN), are among the photonic messengers
released in the post-merger phase of compact binary objects, for example, binary neutron …
