The On-Line Isotope Mass Separator ISOLDE is a facility dedicated to the production, study and use of exotic nuclei located far from the valley of stability i.e. far from the species found naturally on Earth. These exotic nuclei are being studied in…

The NA62 experiment is focused on precision tests of the Standard Model by studies of rare decays of charged kaons since only for few kaon decays there is a precise theoretical prediction. One of these exceptions is the very rare decay K+→…

The mass of an atomic nucleus is one of its most fundamental properties.Via the binding energy, i.e., the difference in mass between its constituents (protons and neutrons) and the entire nucleus, it reflects the sum of all interactions present.…
