Deuteron inelastic scattering on $^{86}$Kr was measured in inverse kinematics with the gaseous active target CAT-M, as part of a systematic investigation aimed at determining the nuclear matter incompressibility. The isoscalar monopole…
The longitudinal invariance of jet-induced peaks in two-particle correlation functions from relativistic lead-lead collisions is experimentally explored. The data were collected at a center-of-mass energy per nucleon pair of 5.02 TeV in…
We report on high-precision mass measurements of the ground and first isomeric state of $^{75}$Zn, performed using the time-of-flight ion-cyclotron-resonance technique at the ISOLTRAP Penning-trap mass spectrometer at ISOLDE/CERN. The…
Neutron-capture reactions provide essential nuclear-physics input for modeling the synthesis of heavy elements in stars. The growing precision of stellar spectroscopy and isotopic measurements in presolar SiC grains now demands cross…
The influence of the secondary neutrons on measurements of alpha-particle activation cross sections below the Coulomb barrier was studied for the $^\mathrm{nat}$Pt($\alpha$,x)$^\mathrm{195m}$Pt reaction. We characterized the secondary…
The nuclear level density (NLD) and the $\gamma$-ray strength function (GSF) of the neutron-deficient $^{109}$In isotope were extracted for the first time with data from the $^{106}$Cd$(\alpha,p\gamma)^{109}$In reaction using a combination…
Cerium-134 is an isotope desired for applications as a chemical analogue to the promising therapeutic radionuclide $^{225}$Ac, for use in bio-distribution assays as an in vivo generator of the short-lived positron-emitting isotope…
Measurements of the event-by-event correlation between elliptic flow ($v_2$) and the mean transverse momentum ($[p_{\rm T}]$) using the modified Pearson correlation coefficient $\rho(v_2^2,[p_{\rm T}])$ are reported in pp collisions at…
This paper presents the measurement of $\pi^{\pm}$, K$^{\pm}$, and p($\bar{\text{p}}$) production in high-multiplicity proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 13$ TeV at midrapidity ($|y| < 0.5$) using the ALICE detector at the LHC. The…
High-energy, heavy-ion collisions can create local domains of chirality-imbalanced quarks, reflecting the topological features of quantum chromodynamics. The chiral magnetic effect (CME) predicts an electric charge separation of quarks in…
Heavy-ion experiments at the CERN SPS began in the mid-1980s to study nuclear matter at extreme temperatures and densities. The program started with light ions, such as oxygen and sulphur, at energies of 60A GeV and 200A GeV, later…
Accurate prediction of fragmentation cross sections is essential for rare-isotope beam production, planning new-isotope searches, and designing experiments to study the most exotic regions of the nuclear chart. However, existing reaction…
Precision measurements of observables in neutron $\beta$-decay are used to test the Standard Model description of the weak interaction and search for evidence of new physics. The Nab experiment at the Fundamental Neutron Physics Beamline at…
The systematic study of fission fragment yields under different initial conditions provides a valuable experimental benchmark for fission models that aim to understand this complex decay channel and to predict reaction product yields.…
This contribution presents an overview of recent measurements of photon-induced processes in ultra-peripheral collisions (UPCs) performed with the ALICE experiment at the LHC. Results from Run~2 include detailed studies of exclusive vector…
Mass measurements of nuclei can identify structurally-driven trends in binding energy across isotopic chains, and can also isolate specific nucleon-nucleon interactions, such as the $\delta V_{\mathrm{pn}}$ interaction of the last two…
This review presents a unified account of the NA35, NA49, and NA61/SHINE experiments, which together form a continuous programme of heavy-ion studies conducted at the H2 beamline of the CERN North Area using the SPS accelerator. The…
Experimental nuclear structure data are evaluated for 20Al. The 3p-unbound, previously unobserved 20Al nucleus was recently discovered by (2025Xu03) through the analysis of the (2007Mu15: 9Be(20Mg,9Mg)) data. (2025Xu03) analyzed the…
The Richardson-Lucy algorithm is applied to reconstruct the three-dimensional source function of identical pions from their two-particle correlation functions. The algorithm's performance is first evaluated through simulations with…
The $^{16}$O$(p,\alpha)^{13}$N reaction plays a key role in shaping the $\alpha$-particle abundance during explosive oxygen burning in Type Ia supernovae. By enhancing $\alpha$-production, this reaction directly affects the…
