Neutron induced reactions on unstable nuclei play a significant role in the nucleosynthesis of the elements in the cosmos. Their interest range from the primordial processes occurred during the Big Bang Nucleosynthesis up to the “stellar cauldrons” where neutron capture reactions build up heavy elements. In the last years, several efforts have been made to investigate the possibility of...

understanding the nature of exotic nuclei.
RI are rarely found on the earth, but can be artificially produced using
accelerated beams and special apparatuses.
One example is CRIB, an RI-beam separator of Center for Nuclear Study, the University of Tokyo,
installed in the RIBF of RIKEN Nishina Center.
It can produce low-energy (less... -

The study of photo-nuclear reactions is crucial for understanding nuclear structure and astrophysical processes. The PANDORA (Photo-Absorption of Nuclei and Decay Observation for Reactions in Astrophysics) project [1] aims to systematically investigate these reactions in stable nuclei with mass numbers below 60, both experimentally and theoretically. We use virtual photon exchange through...

The light nuclei attract the interest of the nuclear physics community for decades, however, we are still far away from their complete understanding. A notable example is the $^4$He, a simple and very stable nucleus constituted by two protons and two neutrons. Until a description of nuclei directly from the fundamental theory of quarks and gluons becomes computationally feasible, an effective...
