Ionizing radiation plays an important role in many medical applications. Not only the specialties radiology, radiotherapy and nuclear medicine rely on ionizing radiation, but also radioguided surgery, certain dermatology procedures, research and development of new pharmaceuticals, etc. Last but not least about half of all medical devices are sterilized by ionizing radiation before use. All...

This talk will present selected highlights from recent campaigns in European Laboratories with modern Ge arrays. Particular attention will be dedicated to results obtained with the Advanced GAmma Tracking Array (AGATA), during the campaign at Legnaro National Laboratory of INFN (Italy) and GSI, employing different types of reactions, including fusion, inelastic scattering and multinucleon...

High-energy collisions of heavy nuclei produce a high-density, color-deconfined state of strongly interacting matter called Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP). Heavy-flavor hadrons, containing charm and beauty, are important probes to study the characteristics and the evolution of the QGP. Heavy quarks, in fact, are produced dominantly through hard partonic scattering processes in the earliest stage of...
