Prior scientific knowledge has shown that the radioactive decay of nuclei can be modeled as a series of independent, random events. [1] The probability for the occurence of such events can thus be modeled by Poisson statistics. In this experiment, we studied the radioactive decay of Cs by using a NaI scintillator. We recorded the counts per second for 100 consecutive one-second long intervals a...

The three-body decay ' 0 ~ 2p + 'OC was studied following production via single-neutron stripping from a radioactive "0 projectile. This is the first observation of two-proton emission from an unbound ground state where the one-proton emission channel is energetically closed beyond the lightest case of Be. No evidence for He emission is seen, despite predictions for a large diproton branching r...

The EURISOL β-beam project addresses the design of accelerators for the production of high flux neutrino beams. With the aim to exploit the existing PS and SPS synchrotrons at CERN, it is proposed to create neutrinos and antineutrinos from high intensity radioactive beams. Boosted to high relativistic energies in the SPS and then injected into an elongated storage ring, narrow cones of neutrino...
