ISOL-France is a research collaboration which gathers the low energy nuclear physics community in France.
The core of the ISOL-France research activity is the understanding and characterisation of nuclear matter at its most fundamental level.
High precision measurements of atomic masses, electromagnetic moments, charge radii, beta decay and exotic decay properties are performed in dedicated state-of-the-art set-ups at radioactive ion beam facilities across Europe. They are used to help us understand collective phenomena in nuclei from individual nucleon interaction and to probe fundamental properties of particle physics.
Ion traps, laser spectroscopy, radioactive ion purification and transport beam lines as well as dedicated detection set-ups are developed in the community to that end.
The role of the ISOL-France collaboration is to promote interactions and discussions within the community and beyond.
