In this review paper we present a detailed account of the extraction and the calculation of the
total reaction cross section of strongly bound and weakly bound, stable and unstable, exotic …

In a fusion-evaporation reaction, nuclei are produced by evaporating light-charged particles
and neutrons from the compound nucleus. Typically, a nucleus of interest is produced as a …

Abstract The Isotope Separation On-Line (ISOL) method for the production of Radioactive
Ion Beams (RIB) is attracting significant interest in the worldwide nuclear physics community …

SPIDER is a new array of segmented silicon detectors for low-energy Coulomb-excitation
experiments, designed as an ancillary device for modern γ-ray spectrometers such as …

A new device, the GALILEO plunger, has been developed for lifetime measurement studies
using the GALILEO γ-ray detector array at the Laboratori Nazionali di Legnaro (LNL) in …

In this work we present a comparison between the two liquid scintillators BC-501A and BC-
537 in terms of their performance regarding the pulse-shape discrimination between …

Experimental observation of plasma instabilities in a charge breeder electron cyclotron
resonance ion source (CB-ECRIS) is reported. It is demonstrated that the injection of 133 …

Since fall 2017, the ADIGE (Acceleratore Di Ioni a Grande carica Esotici) injector of the
SPES (Selective Production of Exotic Species) project entered the installation phase. The …

The GALILEO γ-ray spectrometer, installed at the Laboratori Nazionali di Legnaro (LNL),
benefits from intense stable beams provided by the Tandem-ALPI-PIAVE accelerator …

Radio frequency quadrupole coolers (RFQCs) are very suitable to cool ion beams with
moderate energy spread, typically ions of exotic nuclear species (like) as in the Selective …
