Abstract
The EXOTIC facility, installed at the INFN-Laboratori Nazionali di Legnaro (LNL), is devoted to the in-flight production of light Radioactive Ion Beams (RIBs) in the energy range between 3-5 MeV/nucleon. The research field accessible using the EXOTIC RIBs is the investigation of reaction mechanisms and nuclear structure, resonant scattering measurements and measurements of nuclear reaction cross sections of astrophysical interest.
Highlights
During the last decades there has been a growing interest in the possibility of using Radioactive Ion Beams (RIBs) for a variety of fundamental studies in physics
Experiments with RIBs allow to explore the properties of isotopes with a proton-to-neutron ratio very different from the stable ones, measure reaction cross sections of astrophysical interest occurring in explosive environments, constrain the isospin-dependent nucleon-nucleon interaction in neutron-rich nuclei and in neutron stars, synthesize superheavy elements and test physics beyond the standard model
The EXOTIC facility [1,2,3,4] is dedicated to the in-flight production of low-energy light RIBs, by inverse kinematics nuclear reactions using the intense heavy-ion beams from the INFN-Laboratori Nazionali di Legnaro (LNL) Tandem XTU accelerator hitting a light gas target (H2, D2, 3He and 4He)
