The radioactive isotope beams and stars

Giorno 13 marzo 2026, con inizio alle ore 15:00, presso la Sala Conferenze del DFA, il Prof. Hidetoshi Yamaguchi (Center for Nuclear Study, The University of Tokyo) terrà un seminario dal titolo The radioactive isotope beams and stars.

Il seminario appartiene al ciclo degli Highlights in Frontier Physics, nell'ambito delle attività del Dottorato di ricerca in Fisica.

Tutte le persone interessate sono invitate a partecipare.

Abstract. Radioactive isotopes (RI) are seldom seen on the earth, but they play fundamental roles in burning stars and stellar explosions. The University of Tokyo has an RI-beam separator, named “CRIB”, where RI beams can be produced at astrophysical energies by in-flight method. The technique to produce RI beams at CRIB and the recent experimental studies on astrophysics are introduced.

Bio. Professor Yamaguchi was granted the PhD degree at the Graduate School of Science, The University of Tokyo in 2004 for his work on the precise laser spectroscopy of antiprotonic atoms. Then he moved to Center for Nuclear Study (CNS), The University of Tokyo, as an Assistant Professor to start the nuclear astrophysics projects using the RI-beam separator CRIB. Since 2012, he is a Group Leader of the Nuclear Astrophysics Group of CNS, leading experimental projects for nuclear astrophysics, nuclear clustering, and nuclear reactions.
