NECTAR - Nuclear rEaCTions At storage Rings

Next-generation nuclear-reaction experiments using unstable ion beams

 

As an ERC grant of Beatriz Jurado from LP2i Bordeaux, NECTAR is aiming to constrain crucial neutron-induced reactions on radioactive nuclei, which are important for s- and r-process nucleosynthesis as well as for nuclear applications. The novel approach is based on the surrogate reaction scheme applied tostored heavy ions in the ESR and it facilitates measurements of reactions on radioactive nuclei, which are impossible to measure with traditional neutron irradiation or any other technique of today.
