    High-flux reactors such as the one at the Institut Laue-Langevin (ILL, Grenoble) provide intense neutron sources for many different physics purposes. In particular, thermal neutron-induced reactions can be used to probe different phenomena in an approach to study the structure of nuclei. Neutron capture reactions on (rare) stable or radioactive targets populate low-spin states below the...

    Neutrinoless double beta decay (0$\nu\beta\beta$) is a rare nuclear process predicted by beyond-Standard Model theories, offering crucial insights into the nature of neutrinos and lepton number violation. A confirmed observation of 0$\nu\beta\beta$ would establish the Majorana nature of neutrinos and provide constraints on their absolute mass scale. Among candidate isotopes, the decay of...

    In 2026, the EXOGAM array will celebrate its 25 years of operation at GANIL. Composed of high efficiency segmented Clover detectors, it has been used in numerous experiments in the various areas of GANIL. In 2012 we also setup the array at the ILL high flux reactor for a serie of cold-neutron induced fission experiments and for certain neutron capture reaction studies. At GANIL, the array has...

    Oral Contribution

    Experimental studies of excited states have been performed to probe the evolution of the shell structure in neutron-rich nuclei. In the case of N=50 isotopes from 90Zr to 78Ni, specific excited states correspond mainly to neutron excitations across the N=50 gap. Thus, the evolution of the excitation energy of these states, particularly in the 82Ge nuclei, enables to deduce the size of the N=50...

    The recent experimental campaign using the ν-Ball2 state-of-the-art hybrid gamma-ray spectrometer at the ALTO facility of IJC Lab in Orsay will be reviewed. ν-Ball2 consists of several coupled detectors and devices, including Gammapool high efficiency Ge clovers, the FATIMA fast-timing array [1], eight clusters of the PARIS array [2] and the DSSD segmented silicon detector from Warsaw [3]. A...
