Invited Speaker / Conférencier(ère) invité(e)

Mass spectrometry plays a crucial role in numerous fields of physics such as nuclear structure, and neutrino research. Precise mass measurements provide information on nuclear binding and nucleon separation energies, offering insight into shell and subshell closures, and nuclear deformation. The TITAN (TRIUMF's Ion Trap for Atomic and Nuclear science) facility is committed to conducting...

The neutron-rich Gadolinium isotopes around mass A=160 represent a critical region for understanding both nuclear structure and astrophysical nucleosynthesis. These nuclei exhibit large prolate deformations and lie along the freeze-out path of the rapid neutron capture process (r-process). Understanding their structure can give insight to the rare earth abundance peak formation. The...

Oral Competition (Graduate Student) / Compétition orale (Étudiant(e) du 2e ou 3e cycle)

At the forefront of nuclear structure research is the topic of shape coexistence, which occurs when states within the same nucleus at similar energies possess distinct shapes. Studies of nuclei in the Zr (Z=40) - Sn (Z=50) region have shown evidence for shape coexistence with deformed rotational-like bands coexisting with spherical or weakly-deformed ground state configurations. In the Ru...
