The ISOL-France collaboration gathers the low energy nuclear physics community in France.
The understanding and characterisation of nuclear matter at its most fundamental level is the core of the ISOL-France research activity.
High precision measurements of nuclear 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.
