Description
The main research activity at LNL is based on the use of the
Tandem-ALPI-PIAVE accelerator complex for production and
acceleration of heavy ions. Beam time from this accelerator
complex is mainly dedicated to basic nuclear physics research
but an important fraction of the beam time is also allocated
for applied and interdisciplinary physics measurements.
The large variety of ion beams delivered by the powerful
combination of electrostatic and superconducting RF accelerators,
with a broad range of energies, allows for the exploration
of the most intimate aspects of the nuclear structure.
Nuclear structure and reaction mechanisms at energies close to
the Coulomb barrier are studied with dedicated instruments
developed at LNL. The development of acceleration techniques
and of the instruments for the nuclear physics research made
of the Laboratori Nazionali di Legnaro one of the most
prominent nuclear physics center in the world.
An overview of the research activities performed with the
Tandem-ALPI-PIAVE accelerator complex will be given.
