Radioactive ion beam facilities are transforming nuclear science by making beams of exotic nuclei with various properties available for experiments. New infrastructures and development existing installations enlarges the scientific scope continuously. An overview main production, separation handling methods focus on recent developments is done, as well a survey forthcoming world-wide.
A long-standing question in nuclear physics is whether chargeless systems can exist. To our knowledge, only neutron stars represent near-pure systems, where neutrons are squeezed together by the gravitational force to very high densities. The experimental search for isolated multi-neutron has been an ongoing quest several decades1, with a particular focus on four-neutron system called tetraneutron, resulting few indications of its existence so far2-4, leaving tetraneutron elusive six...
The three-body breakup ${}^{6}{\stackrel{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}{\mathrm{He}}}^{4}\mathrm{He}+n+n$ is studied experimentally, using a secondary ${}^{6}\mathrm{He}$ ion beam of 240 MeV/nucleon incident on carbon and lead targets.

Four-body continuum-discretized coupled-channels calculations, based three-body model projectile, are found explain measured angular...
The violation of Baryon Number, $\mathcal{B}$, is an essential ingredient for the preferential creation matter over antimatter needed to account observed baryon asymmetry in universe. However, such a process has yet be experimentally observed. HIBEAM/NNBAR %experiment program proposed two-stage experiment at European Spallation Source (ESS) search number violation. will include high-sensitivity searches processes that violate by one or two units: free neutron-antineutron oscillation...
Subjecting a physical system to extreme conditions is one of the means often used obtain better understanding and deeper insight into its organization structure. In case atomic nucleus, such approach investigate isotopes that have very different neutron-to-proton (N/Z) ratios than in stable nuclei. Light, neutron-rich exhibit most asymmetric N/Z those lying beyond limits binding, which undergo spontaneous neutron emission exist only as short-lived resonances (about 10-21 s), provide...
