The gamma-ray decay of nuclear states in the quasi-continuum provides significant
constraints on neutron-capture cross sections. In particular, measurements of Nuclear Level Densities (NLDs) and Photon Strength Functions (PSFs) have and will continue to play a central role as these are inputs for the statistical Hauser-Feshbach model. This facilitates the extraction of neutron-capture...
Electromagnetic properties of short-lived radionuclides serve as highly sensitive probes of the structural evolution of atomic nuclei far away from stability. Experimentally, they can be investigated using laser spectroscopy, where measurements of the atomic hyperfine structure provide access to the electromagnetic moments and charge radii of nuclear ground states and long-lived isomers. As...
Nuclear structure plays a critical role in fundamental symmetry studies that probe physics beyond the Standard Model. In this talk, I will discuss nuclear structure investigations performed with low-energy stable beams at tandem accelerator facilities, emphasizing their relevance to symmetry tests in both the quark and neutrino sectors. Examples will include measurements relevant for searches...
