This review paper concerns the research devoted to the study of the properties of dipole
excitations in nuclei. The main focus is on questions related to isospin effects in these types …

Particle identification techniques are fundamental tools in nuclear physics experiments.
Discriminating particles or nuclei produced in nuclear interactions allows to better …

Background: The γ decay of C 12 levels above the particle emission threshold plays a
crucial role in the production of C 12 in astrophysical environments. The Hoyle state is …

The excitation of the Pygmy Dipole Resonance (PDR) in the 68 Ni nucleus, above the
neutron emission threshold, via an isoscalar probe has been observed for the first time. The …

A new modular and high versatility hodoscope, OSCAR, has been developed and
characterized. The aim of this hodoscope is to work as an ancillary detector of present large …

We perform a comprehensive analysis of complete fusion cross section data with the aim to
derive, in a completely data-driven way, a model suitable to predict the integrated cross …

The study of cluster structures in nuclei far from stability represents a valid tool to explore the
nuclear force in few-body systems. In this paper we discuss a new experimental …

GAGG (Ce) is a novel scintillator with a fast response and high light output without a
hygroscopic nature. It is expected to be a useful detector for charged particles at high …

Proper detection of neutrons and charged particles is motivated by the recent efforts to
construct new facilities for radioactive ion beams (RIBs) worldwide. Detection of neutrons is …

This work aims at the investigation of the Pulse Shape Discrimination (PSD) capabilities of
two very compact detection systems composed of a 3x3x3 cm 3 EJ 276 and a 3x3x3 cm 3 EJ …
