“…Similarly, double charge-exchange (DCX) processes are a promising tool to explore nuclear structure and in particular the study of two-body correlations in nuclei [68][69][70]. In the 1980s, the DCX reactions using pion beams produced in the three meson factories at LAMPF [71], TRIUMF [72], and SIN [73] were performed successfully providing interesting nuclear structure information. At present, there is a renewed interest in DCX reactions, to a large extent due to the extensive studies of double beta (ββ)-decay, both the decay in which two neutrinos are emitted and neutrinoless double beta decay.…”

This white paper reports on the discussions of the 2018 Facility for Rare Isotope Beams Theory Alliance (FRIB-TA) topical program ‘From bound states to the continuum: Connecting bound state calculations with scattering and reaction theory’. One of the biggest and most important frontiers in nuclear theory today is to construct better and stronger bridges between bound state calculations and calculations in the continuum, especially scattering and reaction theory, as well as teasing out the influence of the continuum on states near threshold. This is particularly challenging as many-body structure calculations typically use a bound state basis, while reaction calculations more commonly utilize few-body continuum approaches. The many-body bound state and few-body continuum methods use different language and emphasize different properties. To build better foundations for these bridges, we present an overview of several bound state and continuum methods and, where possible, point to current and possible future connections.

“…The original proposal for the accelerator facility that is now known as the PSI high intensity proton accelerator (HIPA) 1 , was completed 1963 [2]. The objective was to produce a proton beam of several tens of microampere with an extraction rate higher than 50 % and an energy above 450 MeV, with the main goal to produce π-mesons and muons 2 .…”

The High Intensity Proton Accelerator Facility at PSI routinely produces a proton beam with up to 1.4 MW power at a kinetic energy of 590 MeV. The beam is used to generate neutrons in spallation targets, and pions in meson production targets. The pions decay into muons and neutrinos. Pions and muons are used for condensed matter and particle physics research at the intensity frontier. This section presents the main physics and technology concepts utilized in the facility. It includes beam dynamics and the control of beam losses and activation, power conversion, efficiency aspects, and performance figures, including the availability of the facility.
