Description
ALTO is a facility that provides a variety of stable and radioactive beams for studies in the domain of nuclear structure, astrophysics, astrochemistry, atomic physics, biology, nano-technology, etc. Stable light- and heavy-ion beams as well as clusters are produced using a 15MV Tandem accelerator. The low-energy radioactive beams are produced using the photo-fission of uranium, induced by the bremsstrahlung of a 50 MeV impinging on an UCx target.
The gamma-ray spectroscopy has always been one of the main driving horses of the facility with a number of Ge-detectors arrays utilized. Results from the ORGAM and MINORCA campaigns will be presented and the plans for the use of the PARIS and the nu-ball spectrometers in near future will be discussed.
Presently a number of developments at ALTO are being pursued in the direction of nuclear-moment and transition-probability investigations. The ideas and the possibilities for these studies with both stable and radioactive beams at ALTO or at other RIB facilities will be presented.
