Nuclear physics with radioactive beams

Nuclear Structure—The Future With Radioactive Beams

Some examples of new phenomena expected at extreme values of neutron and proton number are discussed, including soft dipole modes and neutron-proton pairing. First results on the N = Z nucleus (62)Ga are presented in the context of the competition between T = 0 and 1 states in odd-odd, self-conjugate nuclei.

Nuclear Astrophysics with Secondary (radioactive) Beams

Some problems in nuclear astrophysics are discussed with emphasize on the ones central to the field which were not solved over the last two decades, including Helium Burning in massive stars (the C(α, γ)O reaction) and the B Solar Neutrino Flux Problem (the Be(p, γ)B reaction). We demonstrate that a great deal of progress was achieved by measuring the time reverse process(es): the beta-delayed ...

Nuclear Astrophysics with Radioactive Nuclear Beams: Indirect Methods

The review describes a number of indirect methods in nuclear astrophysics using radioactive beams: Coulomb dissociation, transfer reactions (the ANC method), breakup of loosely bound nuclei at intermediate energies, the use other spectroscopic measurements, including -decay studies and the determination of resonance parameters. The examples chosen are drawn from the experiments the author was i...

Theoretical Aspects of Science with Radioactive Nuclear Beams∗

Physics of radioactive nuclear beams is one of the main frontiers of nuclear science today. Experimentally, thanks to technological developments, we are on the verge of invading the territory of extreme N/Z ratios in an unprecedented way. Theoretically, nuclear exotica represent a formidable challenge for the nuclear many-body theories and their power to predict nuclear properties in nuclear te...
