STORI'14 - 9th International Conference on Nuclear Physics at Storage Rings

Exotic nuclei and their properties play an important role in many astrophysical scenarios. During the supernova collapse electron captures on protons in neutron-rich nuclei is the dominating weak-interaction process. Here decisive progress has been achieved due to large-scale shell model calculations, constrained by data obtainded from charge-exchange measurements on nuclei. Recently nuclear...

The talk will initially review the first generation of nuclear reaction experiments with heavy ions on the ESR storage ring at GSI which have aimed at addressing key issues in nuclear astrophysics including the astrophysical p-process and the triggering of X-ray bursts. The talk will then go on to explore exciting new initiatives with an emphasis on the use of radioactive beams for such measurements.

The DAΦNE collider, located in the Frascati National Laboratories of INFN, has two main rings, where electrons and positrons are stored to collide at a center of mass energy of 1.02 GeV, the Φ resonance mass. KLOE-2 experiment is located at the collider interaction region. The detector is capable to observe and collect data coming from Φ decay: charged and neutral kaon pairs, lighter...

At present, the charmonium spectrum above the open charm threshold is far from being understood. While only few predicted states have been found, the properties of many of the observed states do not match the expectations. The BESIII experiment has accumulated large data samples in electron--positron annihilations in the charm energy region. Recent results from these data will be...

The Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research in Europe, FAIR, will provide worldwide unique accelerator and experimental detectors allowing for a large variety of unprecedented fore-front research in extreme state of matter physics and applied science. This presentation outlines the results of ongoing experimental activities on heavy ion accelerator facilities, providing intense beams capable...

The NICA (Nuclotron-based Ion Collider fAcility) complex is presently under realization phase at JINR [1]. The main goal of the NICA scientific program is an experimental study of hot and dense strongly interacting matter in heavy ion collisions at nucleon-nucleon centre-of-mass energies of 4-11 GeV and at average luminosity of 1027 cm−2s−1 for Au (79+) in the collider mode. In parallel, fixed...
