Nuclear Structure and Astrophysics
Short Contribution
The N = 88 154Dy rare earth neutron rich nuclei offer an opportunity to study nuclear structure in the transitional region where the nuclear shape changes rapidly from vibrational to rotational motion. The question still remains whether at low spins the N=88 and 90 nuclei structure exhibits permanent octupole deformation [1] or aligned tidal wave octupole phonons [2]. The N = 88...

Short Contribution
COMPASS is a fixed-target experiment at the CERN SPS, investigating the structure and the dynamics of hadrons. The experimental setup features a modern spectrometer with wide acceptance and precise momentum resolution for charged track reconstruction. Furthermore, particle identification and calorimetry make it an ideal tool to access a broad range of final states. In 2008 and 2009, a world...

Short Contribution
The future experiments of nuclear and particle physics are moving towards the high luminosity regime, in order to access suppressed processes like rare B decays and exotic charmonium resonances. In this scenario, high rate capability is a key requirement for electronics instrumentation, together with excellent timing resolutions for precise event reconstruction. The development of dedicated...

By combining in a unique approach the solutions and improvements realized in the last years in the Micro-pattern-gas-detector (MPGD) field, we have developed a novel detector architecture called Resistive-WELL (R-WELL): a compact spark-protected single amplification stage MPGD).
The amplification stage of the detector, realized with a structure very similar to a GEM foil, is embedded...

Short Contribution
These days, neutron skin is one of the key words not only in nuclear physics but also in astrophysics. A variety of experimental techniques has been carried out over the last years to determine the neutron skin of heavy and medium nuclei. To overcome strong model dependencies a simultaneous combination of different techniques is favoured. Combining high precision measurements using parity...

Short Contribution
In this talk we focus on the anisotropic flows produced
in the ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions.
Recently it has been possible to measure the anisotropic flows
event by event up to the 6-th harmonics. These observables are sensitive
to the shear viscosity of the plasma. In this talk we discuss the build up of
the elliptic flows and high order harmonics $v_n=<cos(n \phi)>$...
