A remotely-operated liquid water target system for harvesting radioisotopes at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory (NSCL) was designed and constructed as the initial step in proof-of-principle experiments to harvest useful radioisotopes from the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB). FRIB will be a new national user facility for nuclear science to be completed in 2020 at which...

The study of low-energy reactions with radioactive-ion beams has been greatly enhanced by the recent use of active-target detectors, which have high efficiency and low thresholds to detect low-energy charged-particle decays. Both of these features have been used in experiments with the Prototype Active-Target Time-Projection Chamber (PAT-TPC) to study alpha-cluster structure in unstable nuclei...

Hadron therapy was first proposed in 1946 and is by now widespread throughout the world, as witnessed with the design and construction of the CNAO, HIT, PROSCAN, MedAustron and Etoile treatment centers, among others. The clinical interest in hadron therapy lies in the fact that it delivers precision treatment of tumors, exploiting the characteristic shape (the Bragg peak) of the energy...

The physics program at the superconducting fragment separator Super-FRS, being operated in a multiple-stage, high-resolution spectrometer mode at radioactive-beam energies up to 1500 MeV/u for the heaviest projectiles [1], will be presented. This versatile spectrometer, coupled to the heavy-ion synchrotrons SIS18/SIS-100, will be a backbone facility of the NuSTAR collaboration of the FAIR...
