Abstract Quantum electrodynamics (QED), the quantum field theory that describes interaction between light and matter, is commonly regarded as best-tested in modern physics. However, this claim mostly based on extremely precise studies performed domain of relatively low strengths atoms ions 1–6 . In realm very strong electromagnetic fields such heaviest highly charged (with nuclear charge Z ≫ 1), QED calculations enter a qualitatively different, non-perturbative regime. Yet, corresponding...
Neutron-induced reaction cross sections of short-lived nuclei are imperative to understand the origin heavy elements in stellar nucleosynthesis and for societal applications, but their measurement is extremely complicated due radioactivity targets involved. One way overcoming this issue combine surrogate reactions with unique possibilities offered by heavy-ion storage rings. In work, we describe first surrogate-reaction experiment inverse kinematics, which successfully conducted at...
