We have extracted 565 neutron spectroscopic factors of sd and fp shell nuclei by systematically analyzing more than 2000 measured (d, p) angular distributions. are able to compare 125 the values predicted large-basis shell-model calculations evaluate accuracies different interactions in these regions. find that for most excited states sd-shell using latest USDA or USDB agree with experimental values. For nuclei, inability current models account core excitation fragmentation leads...
A pulse shape analysis framework is described, which was developed for n_TOF-Phase3, the third phase in operation of n_TOF facility at CERN. The most notable feature this new adoption generic routines, characterized by a minimal number explicit assumptions about nature pulses. aim these routines to be applicable wide variety detectors, thus facilitating introduction detectors or types into framework. operational details are suited specific requirements particular adjusting set external input...
One of the problems in experimental radiation has been to find a satisfactory test object which is on one hand responsive and other sufficiently simply organized make possible an analysis changes occur. Physarum polycephalum partially fulfills this need. This slime mold readily cultivated, macroscopically visible, rapidly growing, continual streaming its protoplasm gives index direction it growing as well vigor growth any given direction. In addition, we have found be sensitive certain types...
Offline 2 is an entirely new research and development mass separator laboratory for the ISOLDE facility located on Meyrin site of CERN. It closely resembles beam production (for non-radioactive beams) on-line (radioactive) systems at with machine versatility flexibility core its design. The optics down stream preparation can deliver bunched beams or continuous negative positive ions kinetic energies up to 60 keV. resolving power operating a typical ion source R∼500. All this housed within...
The paper explores the numerical stability and computational efficiency of a direct method for unfolding resolution function from measurements neutron induced reactions. A detailed formalism is laid out, followed by an overview challenges present in practical implementation method. special matrix storage scheme developed order to facilitate both memory management matrix, increase multiplication decomposition procedures. Due its admirable properties, Cholesky at heart procedure. With smallest...
Abstract A theoretical and practical investigation into the relation of applied waveform, voltage, frequency quadrupole potential to Radio-Frequency Quadrupole cooler buncher (RFQcb) used at ISOLDE facility Offline 2 facility. Non-radioactive ion beams were transported through RFQcb over a range parameters quantify beam transport efficiency via pre post current measurements. Maximum was directly compared model stability within an oscillatory quadrupolar field solutions Hill's equation (shown...
The employment of a suitable radioactive decay spectroscopy setup is essential for the operation ion beam (RIB) facilities. CERN-ISOLDE recently developed new fast tape station (FTS) to replace its more than 40 years old predecessor. FTS equipped with several β-detectors, HPGe-detector, provisions an α-detector, and constitutes significant improvement in terms transport times detector noise characteristics. Since 2021 it routinely used as primary asset yield determination quality control...

Beam diagnostics at the Isotope Separator On-Line DEvice (ISOLDE) consists mainly of wire SCanners and Faraday Cups (FC) coupled to charge sensitive picoammeters. Presented here is design, simulations, results a new FC combined Secondary Electron Emission (SEE) multiplication detector for beam energies found ISOLDE (up 60 keV). It expands region sensitivity from current noise limit (≃0.25 pA) individual ion counting. The capable counting rates 105 ms−1 (≃10 DC or bunched beams with high...
