  1. Soft collective excitations in weakly bound nuclei studied with ELI-NP Krasznahorkay Inst. of Nuclear Research of the Hung. Acad. of Sci. (ATOMKI)

  2. ELIAttosecondLightPulseSource • To generate X-UV and X-ray fs and atto pulses, … ATTOSECOND section • To contribute to the technological development towards 200PW… High-intensity section

  3. High resolution study of the soft dipole resonances Determination of the strengths of the pigmy dipole resonances

  4. Previus experiment Research Center for Nuclear Physics (RCNP), Osaka University. (3He,t) charge exchange reaction. 400 MeV3Heon 40Ca, 42Ca, 44Ca and 48Ca targets. Grand Raidenwith complete dispersion matching techniques.The relative energy resolution is the best in the world (ΔE/E ≈ 10-5 ). The spectrometer was set at 0° and 2.5° with an opening angle of ±20 mrad horizontally and ±20 mrad vertically defined by a slit at the entrance of the spectrometer.

  5. Identification of new excited states Counts Energy (MeV) We determined the precise level energies for each isotopes and deduced their intensities by fitting the energy spectra.

  9. RPA calculations • The theoretical description (RPA of the distribution is in progress (Elena Litvinova, GSI)

  11. Comparison of the experimental and theoretical results

  12. A new step with ELI-NP • Pure electromagnetic probe for exciting exclusively the dipole strengths • γ-beam combined with the chrystal spectrometer (GAMS4 from ILL Grenoble) • Ultimately high energy resolution (ppm) allows to measure the natural widths (Γ) of the levels and determine the absolute strengths for a large number of transitions for the first time! • A new experimental window will be opened to discover new phenomena in nuclear structure physics!

  13. Constraining the symmetry energy of the EoS by precise neutron-skin thicknessmeasurementsAcceptedSIS18 experiment (S408), Spokeperson: A. Krasznahorkay Furnstahl, Nucl. Phys. A706 (2002) 85

  14. The symmetry energy in nuclear matter

  15. Dipole strengths exited in (p,n) reactions in inverse kinematics

  16. Study of pigmy resonances Constraints on the symmetry energy and neutron skins from pygmy resonances in 68Ni and 132Sn (PRC 81, 041301(R) (2010)) S(ρ)|ρ=ρ0= L/3ρ0

  17. Experimental requirements • High resolution (10-6) tunable photon beam • Detectors with very high counting rate capabilities • Flesh ADCs with high (1-2 GHz) sampling rate • Good collimators and very well shielded beam dump

  19. Advantages of LaBr3 scintillators • Best energy resolution • Fast emission  • High count rate capabilities • Excellent radiation hardness • Wavelength of emission max. [nm]  380 • Primary decay time [ns]  16 • Light yield [% of NaI(Tl)] (for γ-rays)  165 M. Ciemala., … A. Krasznahorkay et al., NIM A608 (2009) 76. Fast anti-coincidence shield is needed to get better response at high energy !!!

  20. Energy resolution and efficiency Typical time resolution: 250 ps (for large detectors) Spacial resolution <80 cm !!! Scattered background could be reduced
