Nuclear Shapes of Heavy Atoms and Proton-Emitting nuclei
By combining atomic, nuclear and particle physics techniques, I shall perform the experimental study of the shape of key atomic nuclei, to challenge our understanding of the nucleus. This combined effort will reach unprecedented sensitivity, precision and accuracy to determine the shape observables (charge radii, electric quadrupole moments) and compare them to state-of-the-art nuclear models (spherical shell model, density functional theory, ab initio models based on chiral effective field theory). This programme will combine different techniques at various accelerator facilities where I employ and develop unique approaches and instrumentation: - At CERN ISOLDE (Geneva, CH),…
