The HIE-ISOLDE project is on its way to providing radioactive nuclei at higher energies than before. Learn more: cern.ch/go/JXf8 youtube.com/watch?v=uL8IH3…

We’re preparing for next week’s experiment at the moment, studying the 28Mg(t,p) reaction with T-REX. That’s a radioactive beam, doing nuclear reactions, on a radioactive target!! 🦖

Miniball is being dismounted after the final experiment of 2018... It’s a long time until we run again at ISOLDE, due to CERN’s second long shutdown, starting this winter!

The observation of vibrating pear-shapes in radon nuclei, published in Nature Communications In a role reversal, my former PhD supervisor acted as primary data analyst on this project! Very proud to continue our work with Miniball at ISOLDE, CERN PDF here rdcu.be/bFIkh

CERN is known for high-energy physics. What about low-energy physics at ISOLDE? cern.ch/go/isoldeTT3 #MeetISOLDE youtu.be/UV4LwRjj9tA

Yesterday was the end of HIE-ISOLDE beam time and the final experiment with Miniball in 2017. Today we start dismounting the detectors.

Miniball is featured on the front of the Nature News website. It's got nothing to do with the PUMA experiment, but it is a pretty picture... "Physicists plan antimatter’s first outing — in a van" nature.com/articles/d4158…

Is the concept of shape coexistence in nuclei compatible with the picture of an “island of inversion” and if so why do we have so many names for the same thing? x.com/littlemix/stat…
