Session 6: Facilities and Instrumentation
- Grzegorz Kaminski (Flerov Laboratory of Nuclear Rections, Joint Institute for Nuclear Research)
INFN-LNL is a large-scale facility that offers for users access to up to 5 accelerators covering a large range of ions (from protons to Uranium) and a large range of energies (few hundreds of keV to a few tens of MeV per nucleon). The flagship project of LNL is SPES (Selective Production of Exotic Species) that aims at the realization of an accelerator facility for research in the fields of...
Understanding background radiation is essential for precision studies in any facility. This work investigates background contributions observed during radiative capture measurements at the low-energy nuclear astrophysics beam-line (H-line) of the iThemba LABS Tandetron facility. The H-line is dedicated to studying the statistical properties of proton-rich isotopes via proton or alpha induced...
The GASTLY (GAs Silicon Two-Layer sYstem) apparatus has been designed and developed in the recent past to perform cross section measurements of light particles emitted in nuclear reactions at energies as close as possible to the Gamow peak. In particular, the alpha and proton channels of the 12C+12C fusion reaction have been studied at E c.m. down to about 2.5 MeV, in a first measurement...
The Flerov Laboratory of Nuclear Reactions at the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research continues its work on the creation of a multipurpose scientific and applied complex based on the new DC-140 cyclotron. The complex includes three experimental channels and is intended applied use of heavy ion beams, in fields of: the production of the heterogeneous micro - and nano-structured materials;...
