Challenging our understanding of the nuclear size
Tin Gets Kinky
The observation that tin nuclei suddenly increase in size when the number of neutrons they contain reaches a “magic” number helps test models of nucleon interactions.
Science clubs for children
Our group participates actively in Science Clubs International. Sharing our love for science with vulnerable children from developing countries is one of the best tools to motivate future scientists and create social impact.
Ronald Fernando Garcia Ruiz was awarded the PhD Thesis prize 2018 from the European Physical Society. The prizes are assigned every three years and aim to recognize the excellence of recent PhD theses in experimental, theoretical or applied nuclear physics.
Interview Ronald Fernando Garcia Ruiz
Ronald Fernando Garcia Ruiz, lead scientist in the Calcium isotope study at the COLLAPS experiment (ISOLDE) explains the latest results.
Resonant Ionization Spectroscopy Technique Becomes Tabletop Friendly
A modified version of a spectroscopic technique used at large-scale radioactive-ion-beam facilities could be used in tabletop experiments.
Has the magic gone from Calcium-52?
CERN Researchers at ISOLDE facility show the supposedly doubly-magic nucleus 52Ca has an unexpectedly large charge radius
