Scope and content
Radioactive nuclei are produced at the ISOLDE facility by shooting a high-energy beam of protons on a thick target. By studying some of these nuclei, physicists are improving the knowledge of nucleosynthesis, the process through which stars produce chemical elements. This is a prototype that was developed for the CERN Open Days, in 2019.
