Opportunities in reaction studies with re-accelerated rare isotope beams at ARIEL
- Barry Davids (TRIUMF)
The XT03 beamline at HIE ISOLDE provides a versatile station for reaction studies, centred on the SEC chamber, which has hosted numerous experiments during its first decade of operation. Halo nuclei such as ¹¹Li and ¹⁴Be offer a unique opportunity to investigate di neutron correlations and the evolution of shell structure in light neutron rich systems.
The ground state of ¹¹Li contains mixed...
A wealth of experimental data supports the important role played by pairing correlations in atomic nuclei. In analogy to superconductors, nuclear "Cooper pairs” have a strong influence on many properties such as binding energies, excitation spectra, deformations, moments of inertia, etc.
The study of pairing correlations in exotic nuclei is a subject of active research in nuclear structure....
The ACTAR TPC device is a time projection chamber, developed for nuclear physics experiments,that allows for the 3D tracking of charged particles in an active gas volume. It has been used since 2019 during several campaigns at GANIL (Caen, France), and in 2025 at TRIUMF (Vancouver, Canada). The detector was designed to work as an active target (the gas acts as a target for nuclear reaction) or...
