Abstract The TRIGA Mark II-reactor at the Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) is
one of three research reactors in Germany. The TRIGA Mainz became first critical on August …

Isotope harvesting is a method of collecting the long-lived radioisotopes that build up during
the operation of ion-beam facilities in a way that is useful for subsequent research. As a …

The measurement of gamma rays from cosmic sources at~ MeV energies is one of the key
tools for nuclear astrophysics, in its study of nuclear reactions and their impacts on objects …

Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (AMS) is one of the most sensitive analysis techniques to
measure long-lived radionuclides, reaching detection limits for isotopic ratios down to 10 …

Targets are in many cases an indispensable ingredient for successful experiments aimed to
produce nuclear data. With the recently observed shift to study nuclear reactions on …

The huge neutron fluxes offer the possibility to use research reactors to produce isotopes of
interest, which can be investigated afterwards. An example is the half-lives of long-lived …

Radioactive nuclei freshly produced in compact sources of cosmic nucleosynthesis are
ejected into the source surroundings. Then, their decay may be directly observable through …
