Abstract

The availability of radioactive beams provides new opportunities in nuclear physics [1]. On the one hand, they provide a probe of the nuclear structure in unusual conditions of excitation energy and isospin. Many experiments have been performed with beams such as 6He, 8He 11Li, 11Be, among others (see references in Ref. [1]). At energies near the Coulomb barrier or above, these experiments provide valuable information on the structure of exotic nuclei and on the dynamics of the nuclear reactions between them. On the other hand, recent experiments involving radioactive beams have been very successful in nuclear astrophysics, where many stellar scenarios involve short-lived nuclei [2].
