166. Coulomb Breakup and soft E1 excitation of Halo Nuclei

Prof. Takashi Nakamura (Institute of Science Tokyo)

2026-07-28, 11:00 a.m.

Invited speakers

Soft E1 excitation, characterized by enhanced electric dipole strength at low excitation energies, is a distinctive feature of neutron halo nuclei, and has been extensively studied via Coulomb breakup reactions [1,2]. It serves as a powerful spectroscopic probe for both one-neutron and two-neutron halo nuclei. In this talk, we present recent Coulomb breakup studies of the one-neutron halo...

19. First spectroscopic study with direct reactions at RAON

Dr Xesus Pereira-Lopez (CENS, IBS)

Contributed Talks

The Rare isotope Accelerator complex for ON-line experiments (RAON) is the first Radioactive Isotope (RI) beam facility in Korea. After the commissioning of the Super-Conducting Linac (SCL3) and the first commissioning experiments carried out in summer 2024, 2025 was marked for the first spectroscopic campaign at RAON, with stable and unstable beams. For this purpose, a large amount of effort...

141. Study of the structure of neutron-rich isotopes 23, 24, 25F in inverse kinematics with the R3B experimental setup at GSI/FAIR

Pablo González Rusell (USC (IGFAE))

2026-07-28, 11:50 a.m.

Contributed Talks

Understanding the structure of nuclei far from stability remains one of the major challenges in nuclear physics. In particular, many-body correlations can lead to nuclear systems whose properties deviate significantly from those expected from a simple independent-particle picture. A striking example is the drastic extension of the neutron drip line for $Z=9$ isotopes compared with $Z=8$...

96. Probing Halo Structure in the 1/2$^{+}$ Excited State of $^{17}$C via Interaction Cross Section Measurements

Andrew Douglas (FRIB/Michigan State University)

2026-07-28, 12:10 p.m.

Contributed Talks

Halo nuclei have served as benchmarks for understanding weakly-bound and continuum effects on the evolution of single-particle energies and particle correlations at and beyond the dripline. However, direct evidence of halo structures in nuclear excited states has remained elusive due to experimental challenges, thus limiting the number of cases available for investigating halo formation near...
