Dynamics and Thermodynamics of exotic nuclear systems
Oral
Modern nuclear dynamics and thermodynamics studies are related to the description of the properties of the nuclear matter under extreme conditions. Among them the dependence of nuclear matter symmetry energy on nuclear density and temperature is one of the most interesting problems. However, the symmetry energy is not a directly measurable quantity and has to be extracted indirectly from...

The experiment, named ISODEC, was performed in order to study the de-excitation of medium mass nuclei formed by fusion processes, and to explore the isospin dependence of their decay modes. The nuclei 118,134Ba, produced by bombarding 40,48Ca targets with stable beams of 78,86Kr at 10 AMeV, present a large variation of N/Z, high angular momentum, and similar excitation energy. Indeed, the...

The study of the collective properties of a nuclear system is a powerful tool to understand the structure of the nucleus. A successful technique which has been used in this field is the measurement of the decay of the Giant Dipole Resonance (GDR) which can be used as probe for hot nuclei and, in addition, constitutes a clock for the thermalization process.
Using fusion-evaporation reactions,...

Huge efforts have been done in the last years in major laboratories around the world to understand the reaction dynamics around the Coulomb barrier with neutron halo nuclei. Reactions induced by n-halo nuclei have been extensively studied, in a wide range of energies and on different targets, in order to understand the role played by the halo on the reaction dynamics (e.g. [1-3].
Owing to...

The discovery of the halo nuclei has brought renewed interest in the modeling of nuclear reactions. This structure will affect the reaction properties at near Coulomb barrier energies.
Therefore we have studied, for the first time, the dynamics of the halo nucleus 11Li in presence of a strong electric field of 208Pb at energies below, 24.2 MeV, and around, 29.7 MeV, the Coulomb barrier at...
