The accelerator facility for Antiproton and Ion Research FAIR, one of the largest research infrastructures in Europe, is currently being built adjacent to the campus of GSI, Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung, in Darmstadt. A suit of accelerators and storage rings will offer excellent research opportunities in hadron and nuclear physics, in atomic physics and nuclear astrophysics as...
The Ion Guide Isotope Separator On-Line (IGISOL) facility at the Accelerator Laboratory of the University of Jyväskylä (JYFL-ACCLAB) has since 1984 utilized particle induced fission as means to produce neutron-rich nuclei for various spectroscopy studies and mass measurements [1]. Committed research work include β- and β -ɣ spectroscopy, total absorption ɣ-ray spectroscopy (TAGS), β-delayed...
The gamma-ray tracking array AGATA at LNL
Gamma-ray spectroscopy represents one of the most powerful methods to study nuclear structure since a large fraction of the de-excitation of the excited nuclear levels goes via gamma emission. The precise measurement of the gamma rays emitted from nuclear levels can provide a large amount of information of the nuclear structure of the specific...
