  • First Exploration of Neutron Shell Structure Below Lead and Beyond N=126

    The nuclei below lead but with more than 126 neutrons are crucial to an understanding of the astrophysical r-process in producing nuclei heavier than A ∼ 190. Despite their importance, the structure and properties of these nuclei remain experimentally untested as they are difficult to produce in nuclear reactions with stable beams. In a first…

    ISOLDE steps into unexplored region of the nuclear chart

    News article from CERN with regards to the first publication from ISS. The experiment was led by Ben Kay from Argonne National Laboratory studying the 206Hg(d,p)207Hg reaction. The results are published in Physical Review Letters. https://home.cern/news/news/physics/isolde-steps-unexplored-region-nuclear-chart
