Molecules in which one of its constituting atoms contain a short-lived, radioactive nuclide were recently introduced as intriguing objects of research. These radioactive molecules can be tailored to maximize the sensitivity to new physics beyond the Standard Model of particle physics. For example, when incorporating octuple-deformed (‘pear-shaped’) radionuclides into polar molecules, one...

The TUCAN (TRIUMF Ultra-Cold Advanced Neutron) collaboration aims to measure the neutron electric dipole moment (EDM) with improved precision. The experiment will use a new high-intensity ultracold neutron (UCN) source currently being constructed at TRIUMF (Canada's Particle Accelerator Centre, Vancouver, BC). Our UCN production scheme is based on spallation neutron production and...

There is renewed interest in the exploration of the nature of low-lying collective excitations in nuclei since several studies have posed serious questions regarding the veracity of multiphonon quadrupole vibrations. A recent survey of nuclei with low-lying states previously believed as having spherical vibrational structure found that very few passed the criteria. Of the few remaining...

The FIssion Product Prompt gamma-ray spectrometer (FIPPS) is the new nuclear physics instrument at the Institut Laue-Langevin (ILL). FIPPS takes advantage of an intense “pencil-like” neutron beam (flux 10$^{8}$ n/s/cm$^{2}$) for inducing neutron capture and neutron-induced fission reactions and study the nuclear structure via high-resolution gamma-ray spectroscopy. The array is composed by 8...
