Organisations
Elementary Particle Physics Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The research of the ELEM team is developed in the framework of the Inter-University Institute for High Energies - IIHE (VUB- ULB). At present experimental work is carried out at the accelerator complexes of CERN (Geneva) and DESY (Hamburg) as well as in a neutrino observatory installed at the South-Pole (IceCube experiment). The preparation of the experiments (design and construction of particle detectors) as well as the final data analysis ...
Department of Physics and Astronomy KU Leuven
The mission statement of the department captures its drive to advance scientific knowledge about the physical Universe, from its smallest subnuclear building blocks, across the complex intermediate scales, and up to its largest extragalactic structures and the Universe itself. This endeavour is fundamentally driven by the department’s curiosity and rooted in contemporary experimental, computational and theoretical explorations and ...
Nuclear and Radiation Physics KU Leuven
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 ...
