21. AGATA physics campaign at LNL

Magda Zielinska (CEA Saclay)

05/07/2024 09:00

My intention is to discuss the general picture of physics cases addressed with AGATA at LNL, with one or two examples presented in more detail, as well as provide information on available ancillary detectors, as well as perspectives of studies in the second part of the campaign involving AGATA at zero degrees.

22. Nuclear structure after slow neutron reactions at ILL

Caterina Michelagnoli (ILL)

05/07/2024 09:25

Thermal neutron induced reactions are used at the Institut Laue-Langevin (ILL, Grenoble) with the high-resolution gamma-ray spectroscopy setup FIPPS (Fission Product Prompt gamma-ray Spectrometer). After a general introduction about the nuclear physics activities at ILL, recent results obtained in different experiments at FIPPS will be reported, including those using the innovative technique...

23. First EXOGAM campaign at NFS

Emmanuel Clement (CNRS GANIL)

05/07/2024 09:50

The EXOGAM array was installed at the NFS beam line at GANIL; Ni and Pb target have been bombarded by fast neutrons up to 40 MeV and the prompt spectroscopy was performed in the vicinity of 58Ni and 208Pb. The detailed gamma-gamma analysis will investigate which part of the level scheme in the recoil is populated in the fast neutron induced reaction. Preliminary results in 57Ni and 57Co will...

24. The GRIFFIN Spectrometer at TRIUMF: Its Capabilities and Science Highlights

Paul Garrett (University of Guelph)

05/07/2024 10:15

In the presentation, I will focus on what we can do with the GRIFFIN spectrometer, it's potential for investigating nuclear structure, and some highlights of work that we have done with it showing examples of studies near stability with very high beam rates, and far from stability and very weak beams.

25. Spectroscopy of shape isomers: status and perspectives

Silvia Leoni (University of Milano and INFFN Milano)

05/07/2024 11:05

A survey of decay properties of excited 0+ states in regions of the nuclear chart well known for shape coexistence phenomena has been recently performed. The aim is to identify examples of extreme shape coexistence, namely, coexisting deformed and spherical (or close-to-spherical) nuclear states, with wave functions well separated in the Potential Energy Surface (PES) with coordinates in the...

26. Perspective about spontaneous fission studies

27. Nuclear Fission – interesting questions after 85 years

Stephan Oberstedt

05/07/2024 11:55

Since the discovery of nuclear fission, more than 85 years ago, many properties of this complex process could be unraveled. A variety of experimental data, obtained with increasingly complex instrument setups, like e.g., nu-Ball and nu-Ball2, have shaped and improved our understanding of fission, with impact on both nuclear modelling and nuclear applications. A few of the still open questions...

28. Future possibilities for gamma-ray spectroscopy of fission in direct kinematics

Dr Jonathan Wilson (IJC Lab, Orsay, France)

05/07/2024 12:20

The gamma ray spectroscopy of nuclear fission provides a very useful tool to study both the nuclear structure of neutron-rich nuclei and the fission process itself. Spectroscopy in direct kinematics allows the fission fragments to stop in 1-2 ps and hence allows spectroscopic study with the intrinsic resolution of Germanium without Doppler broadening. In this presentation I will focus on ideas...
