Nuclear physics applications cover a wide variety of domains such as energy, health, security, environment, material science or cultural heritage. During the last decade, nuclear physicists have demonstrated a growing interest for applications. This interest was driven either by the need of more precise nuclear data for instance for nuclear energy and medical applications, or by new...

Today a variety of radioisotopes for nuclear medicine applications is available commercially. Still, for some nuclear medicine applications it would be advantageous to use "new" radioisotopes with better decay properties or radioisotopes with higher "quality" (such as high specific activity or non-carrier added quality). When these are not commercially available, or easily producible with...

Due to the complexity of systems in living matter nuclear techniques are not commonly used in biology and biochemistry. The ISOLDE facility is, however, a perfect place for carrying out experiments with perturbed angular correlation of γ-rays (PAC) spectroscopy. This well established technique is suitable for addressing different biological topics, such as metalloprotein structure, dynamics of...
