Experiment

The subatomic experimental group at the Department of Physics and Astronomy focuses at the moment on the structure of exotic nuclei and nuclei of astrophysical interest as probed by reaction or decay experiments performed in-house as well as at international laboratories such as the ISOLDE facility at CERN. We work closely with similar groups at CSIC (Madrid) and Chalmers (Göteborg) and our experiments typically involve many other European groups. The research is funded through the NICE centre, through FNU and via an ERC consolidator grant. We also participate in the EU Interreg IV project CATE.

The list of publications indicate the spread of our activities that extend into particle physics and cosmic ray physics. Recently, our work has concentrated on reaction experiments with radioactive beams performed at REX-ISOLDE and at investigations of the unbound excited states in 12C. We have a strong collaboration as well with the local subatomic theory group.

Information on our teaching and outreach activities, including projects for students (also in medical physics), is given separately (in Danish).
