7. Physics, Astrophysics and advanced nuclear technologies at CERN n_TOF: present and future

Cristian Massimi (INFN and University of Bologna)

2021-06-29, 9:30 a.m.

Contributed talks

The neutron time-of-flight facility n_TOF at CERN has been producing relevant nuclear data for science and technology since 2001. More in detail, neutron-induced reaction cross sections of interest to: 1. Astrophysics (both Big Bang and stellar Nucleosynthesis); 2. emerging nuclear technology and related safety (fission and fusion as well as transmutation of nuclear waste); 3. Neutron capture...

6. Proton-induced reactions on stored radioactive ions

Jan Glorius (GSI Helmholtz Center Darmstadt)

2021-06-29, 9:50 a.m.

Contributed talks

In the last years, a novel technique to study proton-induced reactions on post-decelerated ions has been established in the ESR heavy ion storage ring at GSI.
Very recently this technique has been employed to measure the proton capture cross section on radioactive 118Te ions after in-flight production in the fragment separator FRS.
This contribution gives a summary of the recent developments...

4. Electromagnetic detectors for experiments in heavy ion storage rings

Dr Shahab Sanjari (GSI Darmstadt and Aachen University of Applied Sciences)

2021-06-29, 10:10 a.m.

Contributed talks

Nuclear astrophysics studies on highly charged radionuclides benefit from accelerator facilities with storage rings, where exotic nuclides produced with small yields can be stored efficiently. Non-destructive detection methods are often used for in-flight measurements based on frequency analysis of the signal from the detector, leading to precision results for mass and lifetime of exotic...
