With four alpha particles in its decay chain, actinium-225 (225Ac; t1/2 = 9.9 d) is a promising candidate isotope for Targeted Alpha Therapy (TAT) when coupled with a disease targeting vector. The current limited global supply of 225Ac (67 GBq/year), and lack of appropriate chelating ligands able to complex this isotope has delayed the advancement of ...

The study of nuclei far from stability is one of the most active and challenging areas of nuclear structure physics. Studies of the most exotic neutron-rich isotopes require an unprecedented combination of beam intensities and detection sensitivity, which will soon be realized in the United States at the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams, with $\gamma$-ray spectrometers such as GRETA. The...

An accreting compact star in a binary system can generate periodic thermonuclear runaways on its surface. In the case of a white dwarf star, the result is a classical nova, which enriches the interstellar medium with newly synthesized nuclides. In the case of a neutron star, a detectable burst of X-rays is emitted. Nucleosynthesis and energy generation in these events depends on thermonuclear...
