Nuclear physics:

• Nuclear spectroscopy of short-lived isotopes using recoil separators at accelerators as GANIL and GSI.
• Nuclear spectroscopy at the ISOLDE isotope separators on-line at the PS-Booster accelerator in CERN.
• Nuclear structure and reaction studies using post-accelerated radioactive beams. * Nuclear astrophysics: radioactive ion beams accelerated to stellar energies are used to measure reactions of ...

The Cyclotron group of the TONA department of the VUB is in charge of the exploitation of a variable energy, multiparticle accelerator used in research and for routine production of radioisotopes.The main research activities developed around the cyclotron by different groups are: 1. Physical characterisation of nuclear threshold reactions (Prof A. Hermanne, TONA/CYCL): - Stacked foil analysis for determination of cross-sections of charged ...

* Multilayers and Superlattices : Electrical transport, magnetic, optical and structural properties of superconducting and magnetic artificially layered materials. * High Temperature Superconductors : Structural, electrical and magnetic properties of thin films, multilayers, single crystals and ceramics. * Magnetic Perovs-kites: electrical and magnetic properties, CMR measurements, structural characterization. * Mesoscopic systems : Normal ...
