ground-state properties

invited presentation

High precision mass measurement using ion trapping continue to play an important role in shaping our understanding of the nucleus. State-of-the-art spectrometers nowadays are able to reach far from the valley of beta stability, where new phenomena, as e.g. shell quenching, weakening or disappearance of classical and appearance of new magic numbers can be observed and studied via their...

415. Study of the Pygmy Dipole Resonance using neutron inelastic scattering at GANIL-SPIRAL2/NFS

spectroscopy

invited presentation

The pygmy dipole resonance (PDR) is a vibrational mode described as the oscillation of a neutron skin against a core symmetric in number of protons and neutrons. The PDR has been the subject of many studies, both experimental and theoretical [1,2]. Indeed, the study of the PDR has been and still is of great interest since it allows to constrain the symmetry energy, an important ingredient of...

312. Observation of the radiative decay of the low energy thorium-229 isomer: En route towards a nuclear clock

invited presentation

The radioisotope thorium-229 features a nuclear isomer with an exceptionally low excitation energy of ≈ 8 eV and a favourable coupling to the environment, making it a candidate for a next generation of optical clocks allowing to study fundamental physics such as the variation of the fine structure constant [1,2]. While first indirect experimental evidence for the existence of such a nuclear...
