The presentation aims at describing the main achievements of the NUMEN project [1], together with an updated and detailed overview of the related R&D activities and theoretical developments. NUMEN proposes an innovative technique to access the nuclear matrix elements entering the expression of the lifetime of the double beta decay by cross section measurements of heavy-ion induced Double...

The DarkSide-20k collaboration is preparing to equip 20 mยฒ of SiPMs working in liquid argon at 86 K for the direct search of WIMPs. The collaboration had to solve many technological aspects, such as the development of SiPM optimized for operation in liquid argon, the readout of large SiPM-based detectors, the reliable packaging of more than 200000 SiPMs using radiopure materials. The packaging...

Durability of targets and window foils irradiated by intense heavy ion (HI) beams in the experiments on synthesis of superheavy nuclei (SHN) carried out in Dubna with Gas-Filled Recoil Separator (DGFRS) has been considered. High fluxes of HIs and heat generated within relatively small areas and thicknesses of the target and foil used in DGFRS are inherent in such experiments. The ability of...

In-beam dose measurements are paramount for any application seeking to harness the effects of the radiation beam, so all the future applications of the laser accelerated beams (as generated in the ELI and CETAL projects) will need such measurements. The gold standard in dose measurement remain the ion chambers, but for the beams we intend to measure they do present some limitations given be...

The global scientific goal of the NICA/MPD (Nuclotron-based Ion Collider
fAcility / Multy Purpose Detector) project under realization at JINR is to
explore the phase diagram of strongly interacting baryonic matter in the
region of a high compression and temperature. The proposed program allows
one to search for possible signs of the phase transitions and critical
phenomena in heavy ion...

The fixed target experiment PANDA at the High Energy Storage Ring (HESR) of the Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research in Europe (FAIR) in Darmstadt will open unique possibilities to solve fundamental questions of hadron physics by using a cooled high-intensity antiproton beam. Two fast and compact Ring Imaging Cherenkov detectors using the DIRC (Detection of Internally Reflected Cherenkov...

The neutron research activities with the Tandem Pelletron Accelerator at CNA in Seville (Spain) is based on the development of neutron sources with different energy and angular distributions, which could be generated by 7Li(p,n) and D(D,n) reactions. The neutron beam characterization is done using the Time of Flight technique (TOF). The TOF technique allows measuring neutron induced cross...

In 2002 the neutron time-of-flight facility n_TOF started its operation
at CERN using a 185-m beam line. After a series of successful
measurement campaigns, a second beam line, at 18.5 m from the
neutron-producing target, was built in 2014. The two lines provide
an excellent combination of good energy resolution and high
instantaneous neutron flux. The latter feature results in a...

The PANDA detector at the future FAIR facility at GSI is planned as a fixed-target experiment for proton-antiproton collisions at momenta between 1.5 and 15 GeV/c. It will be used to address open questions in hadronic physics. In order to achieve a sufficient particle identification, two different DIRC detector concepts have been developed. This talk will cover the Endcap Disc DIRC detector...

The superior energy efficiency of light ion beams instead of proton beams for energy production in accelerator driven systems (ADS) is demonstrated. The energy efficiency is characterized by the energy gain calculated as the ratio of the energy released in the target to the energy spent for the beam acceleration. The energy deposited in the target is obtained via Geant4 simulation. The energy...

SPES (Selective Production of Exotic Species) is the INFN project aimed to build a facility for Nuclear Physics studies with Radioactive Ion Beam (RIB). The facility is under construction at the INFN Legnaro National Laboratories and it will provide mostly neutron-rich exotic beams originating by fission fragments produced by an intense proton beam on a direct UCx target. The RIB project is...

The upcoming advancement of the ELI-NP project into its operational phase will offer to the nuclear physics community access to two new photon installations: a high-power laser system and a high-brilliance gamma beam system, which can be used together or separately.
One of the experimental setups proposed at the gamma beam system is an IGISOL facility [1] which will generate a Radioactive...

The Extreme Light Infrastructure - Nuclear Physics in Bucharest-Magurele, Romania, is a major European undertaking with the aim of constructing a facility that can produce the worlds highest intensity laser beams as well as unique high-brilliance, narrow-bandwidth gamma-ray beams using laser-based inverse Compton scattering.
One of the main instruments being constructed for the nuclear...
