2. Developments towards laser spectroscopy of molecules in a supersonic gas jet at S3-LEB

Afonso Vicente (IJCLab-IN2P3-CNRS)

13/07/2026, 11:30

Radioactive molecules have recently emerged as precision probes for anomalous electromagnetic moments, possibly offering unprecedented sensitivity to parity violation and time reversal symmetry violation [1]. In current experiments at radioactive ion beam facilities, the high temperature of the different molecular degrees of freedom is a crucial limiting factor for sensitive measurements. To...

1. Atomic Data for Elemental Kilonovae Identification

Tomás Campante (Deparment of Physics, Faculty of Sciences of the University of Lisbon (FCUL). Laboratory of Instrumentation and Experimental Particle Physics (LIP).)

15/07/2026, 09:00

Oral Presentation

Observations of kilonovae, the electromagnetic counterparts to (binary) neutron star mergers, confirm their role as key sites for $r$-process nucleosynthesis, producing elements heavier than ion in the expanding ejecta following this event. The groundbreaking observation of the 2017’s kilonova (astronomical transient AT2017gfo) associated with the renowned gravitational wave event GW170817...

6. Resonant Excitation Contributions to Electron-Impact Collision Strengths for r-Process Ions: Implications for Non-LTE Kilonova Modelling

Ricardo Ferreira da Silva (LIP)

15/07/2026, 09:30

Comprehensive datasets of electron-impact excitation (EIE) collision strengths for near-neutral lanthanides and other r-process elements remain notably incomplete, despite their central role in setting the level populations of neutron-star merger ejecta during the late phase (non local thermodynamic equilibrium, more commonly known as non-LTE, regime), of kilonova emission [1, 2]. A...

4. Unveiling the Mysteries of p-Nuclei: A Comprehensive Study of Nuclear Physics Uncertainties in Supernovae

João Jantarada (Nuc-Ria)

15/07/2026, 10:00

Oral Presentation

The astrophysical origin of the heavy neutron-deficient isotopes, commonly referred to as p-nuclei, remains one of the major open problems in Nuclear Astrophysics. Among the proposed production sites, Core-Collapse Supernovae (CCSNe) are considered one of the most promising environments for their nucleosynthesis. In this presentation, I will discuss the current results of my PhD research,...

5. Pixel-based Target Recoil Tracker (TRT) for R$^{\text{3}}$B at FAIR

Beatriz Amorim (University of York)

15/07/2026, 11:30

Oral Presentation

The upgraded setup for the R3B experiments at FAIR introduces a pixel-based Target Recoil Tracker (TRT) detector, designed to enhance the detection capabilities of light-charged particles, such as protons, emitted in nuclear reactions. The TRT surrounds the reaction
target and is further enclosed within a highly segmented calorimeter, named CALIFA, focusing on precise angle measurements of...

3. Heavy baryon spectroscopy with a quark-diquark approach

André Torcato (LIP)

15/07/2026, 14:30

Oral Presentation

Simplifying the three-body equations that describe baryons in low-energy non-perturbative QCD into two-body equations, introducing the diquark, quark-quark bound states, as baryon constituents. From these, baryon mass calculations, partial wave decompositions and diquark contributions to the baryon states can be done.
