Nuclear and atomic masses factor into almost every branch of physics. In nuclear physics and nuclear astrophysics, masses contribute to our understanding of fundamental symmetries and explosive nucleosynthesis, just to name a few applications.
TRIUMF’s Ion Trap for Atomic and Nuclear science (TITAN) has been built to study exotic, short-lived nuclei. The TITAN facility consists of three main...

Invited Speaker / Conférencier invité
The science of stellar nucleosynthesis aims at understanding how the elements in the universe are formed in stars. On a microscopic scale, the formation of elements is dictated by the properties of atomic nuclei and their interactions. Of special importance for r-process nucleosynthesis is a fundamental understanding of shell evolution towards neutron-rich nuclei. The finding of a soft N=2...

In the last decade nuclear chirality resulting from an orthogonal coupling of angular momentum vectors in triaxial nuclei has been a subject of numerous experimental and theoretical studies. Three perpendicular angular momenta can form two systems of the opposite handedness, the right-handed and the left-handed system; the time-reversal operator, which reverses orientation of each of the...
