The neutrons for science facility (NFS) is the first operational experimental area of the new GANIL/SPIRAL2 facility. It is composed of two main areas: a converter room where neutrons are produced and activation measurements are performed, and a 28-meters long time-of-flight area where high neutron-energy resolution is achieved by the time-of-flight technique.
NFS benefits from the intense...
The low energy structure of nuclei close to the doubly magic $^{40}$Ca and $^{56}$Ni are driven by collective excitations, including shape coexistence and super-deformation [1]. On the other hand, the N=28 shell closure is also strongly influencing the nuclei between N=Z=20 and 28. Electric monopole, $E$0 transitions are often cited as excellent probes to explore the interactions of collective...
Prompt $\gamma$-ray spectroscopy is one of the experimental approaches that can effectively be utilized for extracting the relative isotopic and mass yield distributions of the fission fragment nuclei, produced from the compound fissioning nucleus. Ideally, this is a novel technique, in the sense, that it can be used to measure accurate fission yield distributions with one unit of mass...
Di-neutron correlations are extensively explored in recent experiments, and the enhancement of the spatial localization of the pair of the neutrons (n) has been confirmed at the nuclear surface in the light neutron-excess systems, such as $^{11}$Li and $^{19}$B. The di-neutron correlations are also investigated theoretically by employing the three-body model with core + n + n. The analysis of...
