Recent developments (since the last review in J. of Physics G by I. Tanihata in 1996 [1]) at
RIB facilities opened possibilities of detailed studies of halo nuclei. New facilities have been …

The last decades brought impressive progress in synthesizing and studying properties of
nuclides located very far from the beta stability line. Among the most fundamental properties …

This article aims at covering various low energy nuclear physics themes that can benefit
from taking advantage of active targets and time projection chambers. They are naturally …

One in about a few 10 5 sub-Coulomb dt collisions is accompanied by the emission of a γ
photon. The γ spectrum from these collisions is dominated by a 16.7 MeV peak …

The ISOLDE Radioactive Beam Facility is the dedicated CERN installation for the production
and acceleration of radioactive nuclei far from stability. Exotic nuclei of most chemical …

At the long-wavelength approximation, E1 transitions are forbidden between isospin-zero
states. Hence E1 radiative capture is strongly hindered in reactions involving N= Z nuclei but …

The astrophysical S factor and reaction rate of the direct capture process α+ d→ Li 6+ γ, as
well as the abundance of the Li 6 element, are estimated in a three-body model. The initial …

The β-decay process allows one to understand better the interactions and behaviour of the
nucleons inside the nucleus. The study of nuclei at the limits of stability has recently become …

The astrophysical capture process α+ d→ Li 6 is studied in a three-body model. The initial
state is factorized into the deuteron bound state and the (α+ d)-scattering state. The final …

The astrophysical He 3 (α, γ) Be 7 and H 3 (α, γ) Li 7 direct capture processes are studied in
the framework of the two-body model with potentials of a simple Gaussian form, which …
