Short presentation
My research field is experimental nuclear physics with investigations of the structure of nuclei with a deficit or an excess of neutrons compared to the naturally occurring isotopes of each element. The main focus is currently on studies of neutron deficient nuclei in the mass region around the doubly magic nucleus 100Sn with 50 protons and 50 neutrons.
