Nuclear Physics for Cultural Heritage
No full textNuclear physics applications in medicine and energy are well known and widely reported. Less well known are the many important nuclear and related techniques used for the study, characterization, assessment and preservation of cultural heritage. There has been enormous progress in this field in recent years and the current review aims to provide the public with a popular and accessible account of this work.
The Nuclear Physics Division of the EPS represents scientists from all branches of nuclear physics across Europe. One of its aims is the dissemination of knowledge about nuclear physics and its applications. This review is led by Division board member Anna Macková, Head of the Tandetron Laboratory at the Nuclear Physics Institute of the Czech Academy of Sciences, and the review committee includes four other members of the nuclear physics board interested in this area: Faiçal Azaiez, Johan Nyberg, Eli Piasetzky and Douglas MacGregor. To create a truly authoritative account, the Scientific Editors have invited contributions from leading experts across Europe, and this publication is the combined result of their work.
The review is extensively illustrated with important discoveries and examples from archaeology, pre-history, history, geography, culture, religion and curation, which underline the breadth and importance of this field. The large number of groups and laboratories working in the study and preservation of cultural heritage across Europe indicate the enormous effort and importance attached by society to this activity
The role of nucleon structure in nuclear physics
No full textWe review the recent investigations of nuclear structure physics based on relativistic mean-field theory which take into account the fact that the nucleon contains light quarks. It is shown that this internal structure plays such an important role in a variety of phenomena, from nuclear saturation to charge symmetry breaking and super-allowed Fermi β-decay, that it can no longer be ignored.A.W.

Nuclear and particle physics
No full textNuclear and Particle Physics provides an introductory course on nuclear and particle physics for undergraduate and early-graduate students, which the author has taught for several years at the University of Zurich. It contains fundamentals on both nuclear and particle physics, giving emphasis to the discovery and history of developments in the field, and is experimentally/phenomenologically oriented. It contains detailed derivations of formulae such as 2–3 body phase space, the Weinberg-Salam model, and neutrino scattering. Originally published in German as Kern- und Teilchenphysik, several sections have been added to this new English version to cover modern topics, including updates on neutrinos, the Higgs boson, the top quark and bottom quark physics
The solid state physics programme at ISOLDE: recent developments and perspectives
No full textSolid state physics (SSP) research at ISOLDE has been running since the mid-1970s and accounts for about 10%–15% of the overall physics programme. ISOLDE is the world flagship for the on-line production of exotic radioactive isotopes, with high yields, high elemental selectivity and isotopic purity. Consequently, it hosts a panoply of state-of-the-art nuclear techniques which apply nuclear methods to research on life sciences, material science and bio-chemical physics. The ease of detecting radioactivity—<1 ppm concentrations—is one of the features which distinguishes the use of radioisotopes for materials science research. The manner in which nuclear momenta of excited nuclear states interact with their local electronic and magnetic environment, or how charged emitted particles interact with the crystalline lattices allow the determination of the location, its action and the role of the selected impurity element at the nanoscopic state. ISOLDE offers an unrivalled range of available radioactive elements and this is attracting an increasing user community in the field of nuclear SSP research and brings together a community of materials scientists and specialists in nuclear solid state techniques. This article describes the current status of this programme along with recent illustrative results, predicting a bright future for these unique research methods and collaborations
Zakopane Conference on Nuclear Physics Book of Abstracts
No full textZakopane Conference on Nuclear Physics "Extremes of the Nuclear Landscape"
28 sierpnia - 4 września 2022, ZakopaneThe Zakopane Conference on Nuclear Physics, for historical reasons called School, has
been organized since 1963 by the Henryk Niewodniczanski Institute of Nuclear Physics
of the Polish Academy of Sciences (IFJ PAN) and the Marian Smoluchowski Institute
of Physics of the Jagiellonian University. Over the years the School became a famous
worldwide conference. Nowadays, the Zakopane Conference on Nuclear Physics has a
character of a biennial international congress and is one of the major events in Poland,
related to low-energy nuclear physics.
During the construction of the scientific program special attention has always been
paid to offering enthusiastic and pedagogical overviews of the most recent research
subjects in nuclear physics from both theoretical and experimental points of view. Young
participants have also the opportunity to present the results of their research in short
talks or on posters.
Currently, the conference theme is “Extremes of the Nuclear Landscape” and it is a forum
for reviewing progress in theory and experiment at the forefront of nuclear research.
This time special attention will be given to the structure of exotic, unstable nuclei. We
will also focus on collective excitations of nuclear matter. Furthermore, the nuclear
physics context of astrophysical processes will be widely discussed. An important part
of the Conference will be devoted to presentations on the newest achievements in the
nuclear structure and reactions investigations and their influence on other disciplines.
Noticeable discoveries in these areas are closely linked to the ongoing development of
experimental facilities and detectors, which is among the conference topics. The aim of
the Conference is also to increase the mutual communication of physicists representing
various areas of nuclear physics and to create opportunities for intense interaction
between graduate students, young researchers, and senior scientists.
The current 55th edition of the Zakopane Conference on Nuclear Physics is organized by
IFJ PAN in cooperation with Coti Conference Time and is supported by NuPECC, CAEN,
NAWA (The Polish National Agency For Academic Exchange)
