GANIL expands its energy range to reach for the stars
A GANIL beam line was completely redesigned to transport low-energy radioactive beams (1 to 2 MeV/u), a range of new energies for GANIL radioactive ions. The new device allows to slow down the beams of the CIME cyclotron while measuring…

A change in viewpoint on helium 4 brings nuclear physics out of a dead-end.
An experimental measurement recently identified a discrepancy between theoretical predictions and the observation of the helium 4 nucleus. The work of an international collaboration of theoreticians elaborated a different vision of the configurations of nucleons and their coupling in helium…

Search for a neutron dark decay in ⁶He
The helium 6 nucleus was proposed as a potential candidate to probe the neutron dark decay model. Due to the purity and great intensity of the ⁶He⁺ radioactive beam (up to 300 million nuclei per second) produced by the GANIL…
