“Exotic nuclei” far from the stability line are
unique objects of many-body quantum system,
where ratios of neutron number to
proton number are much larger or much smaller than
those of nuclei found in nature.
Their exotic properties and phenomena emerge from
their large isospin asymmetry, and
even affect scenarios of nucleosynthesis in universe.
Efforts have been made to produce and investigate
such exotic nuclei at the accelerator
facilities in the world. One of the facilities, the Radioactive
Isotope Beam Factory (RIBF) facility at RIKEN, Japan
has delivered intense RIBs since 2007.
In this seminar, I would like to give a facility overview of
RIBF and introduce objectives at RIBF. Special emphasis would
be given to selected recent highlights of the emergence.
Future programs would be shown and discussed, too.
