“…The FPs will be measured with a sub-nanosecond TOF detector, which detection efficiency is ~80% [127], enabling mass spectroscopy with resolving power of a few 10 5 , accuracy of ~10 -7 , and isobaric and isomeric separations with intensity ratios of up to a few hundred [126,128], characteristics that are sufficient for most nuclear-and astro-physics needs. Conversely, they may be transported to further experimental stations (with an estimated transmission of ~80% as well), which can include an array of neutron, beta and gamma detectors such as VANDLE [129], and/or a laser spectroscopy system such as the one at the IGISOL facility at U. Jyvaskyla [130].…”

The Soreq Applied Research Accelerator Facility (SARAF) is under construction in the Soreq Nuclear Research Center at Yavne, Israel. When completed at the beginning of the next decade, SARAF will be a user facility for basic and applied nuclear physics, based on a 40 MeV, 5 mA CW proton/deuteron superconducting linear accelerator. Phase I of SARAF (SARAF-I, 4 MeV, 2mA CW protons, 5 MeV 1mA CW deuterons) is already in operation, generating scientific results in several fields of interest. The main ongoing program at SARAF-I is the production of 30 keV neutrons and measurement of Maxwellian Averaged Cross Sections (MACS), important for the astrophysical s-process. The world leading Maxwellian epithermal neutron yield at SARAF-I (5×10 10 epithermal neutrons/sec), generated by a novel Liquid-Lithium Target (LiLiT), enables improved precision of known MACSs, and new measurements of lowabundance and radioactive isotopes. Research plans for SARAF-II span several disciplines: Precision studies of beyond-Standard-Model effects by trapping light exotic radioisotopes, such as 6 He, 8 Li and 18,19,23 Ne, in unprecedented amounts (including meaningful studies already at SARAF-I); extended nuclear astrophysics research with higher energy neutrons, including generation and studies of exotic neutron-rich isotopes relevant to the rapid (r-) process; nuclear structure of exotic isotopes; high energy neutron cross sections for basic nuclear physics and material science research, including neutron induced radiation damage; neutron based imaging and therapy; and novel radiopharmaceuticals development and production.

“…The beta decay strength distribution of waiting point nuclei is extremely valuable to anchor nuclear models necessary to calculate half-lives farther away from stability. Due to the expected large neutron branching ratio, the neutron time-of-flight detector VANDLE [17] was installed at IDS together with the four HPGe clover shown on the left hand side of Fig. 3.…”

Abstract. ISOLDE is the CERN facility dedicated to the production of rare ion beams for many di↵erent experiments in the fields of nuclear and atomic physics, materials science and life sciences. The HIE-ISOLDE, Higher Intensity and Energy upgrade has finished its stage 1 dedicated to upgrade the energy up to 5.5 MeV/u, producing the first radioactive beams with this energy in September 9th 2016. Recent results from the low energy and post-accelerated beams are given in this contribution.

“…The early implementation of HAGRiD, with 2"x2" crystals coupled to a combination of Hamamatsu R7724, R7224-100, and R6231-100 PMTs, has been used in experiments with the Jet Experiments in Nuclear Structure and Astrophysics (JENSA) gas jet target 18 at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory (NSCL) and in β-delayed neutron emission studies at the HRIBF. A recent β-delayed neutron emission experiment at the NSCL with the Versatile Array of Neutron Detectors (VANDLE) 19,20 used HAGRiD with the optimized R6231-100 PMT's in a temporary coupling. Once the array is completed, its flexibility to be positioned around the JENSA gas target, other γ detectors, or neutron detectors will make it a valuable component of experiments studying the decay or reactions of exotic nuclei.…”

Fission and Properties of Neutron-Rich Nuclei

Over the last two decades transfer reactions have seen a resurgence following developments in methods to use them with exotic beams. An important step in this evolution was the ability to perform the (d,p) reaction on fission fragment beams using the inverse kinematics technique, built on the experience with light beams. There has been renewed interest in using ( 9 Be, 8 Be) and ( 13 C, 12 C) reactions to selectively populate single-particle like states that can be studied via their subsequent γ decay. These reactions have been successfully utilized in the 132 Sn region. Additionally, our collaboration has recently performed experiments with GODDESS, a combination of the full ORRUBA detector and Gammasphere arrays. Another new direction is measuring neutrons from (d,n) reactions, performed in inverse kinematics, with the VANDLE array of plastic scintillators. Presented below is an overview of these new techniques and some of the early data from recent experiments.
