In this talk I shall focus on some experiments that use the atomic nucleus as a probe to search for and place bounds on interactions that arise from physics beyond the Standard Model. One key aspect in such tests that has been under scrutiny in recent times is the contribution of nuclear structure. While nuclear structure can provide an enhancement of the effects arising from exotic...

Double beta decay is an extremely rare nuclear decay process characterised by
a change in the atomic number Z by two units while leaving the mass number A constant. Basically it can occur in two modes, with the emission of two electrons and two anti-neutrinos or the emission of two electrons only. While the rst mode is expected within the current Standard Model of Particle Physics, the...

The shell structure at N = 82 plays a crucial role for the rapid neutron capture (r-) process. For example, it determines the shape of the large A∼130 peak in the solar system abundance pattern and affects the timescale of the r-process as well as the amount of neutrons later available for induced fission. However, below Z = 50 the evolution of the N = 82 gap is still unknown and, therefore,...

ACCULINNA is in-flight fragment separator based on U-400M cyclotron
at Flerov Laboratory of Nuclear Reactions (FLNR, JINR, Dubna, Russia).
In the recent years there was a successful line of research at FLNR
dealing with light dripline systems. Novel results were obtained
for such isotopes as 5H [1,2,3], 7H [4], 8He [5], 9He [6], 10He [5,7],
6Be [8], and 26S [9]. The major results of...
