A unique combination of high-quality experimental data and several state-of-the-art nuclear-physics models has resulted in an excellent agreement between experiment and theory

The unusual nuclear physics phenomenon, first discovered at CERN’s ISOLDE facility 50 years ago, had until now been seen only in mercury isotopes

The ISOLTRAP experiment at CERN’s ISOLDE facility has weighed the neighbouring indium nuclei of tin-100, shedding new light on this special “doubly magic” nucleus

The experiments are compact enough to be transported in a small truck or van

A new study at ISOLDE finds no signature of a “magic” number of neutrons in potassium-51, challenging the proposed magic nature of nuclei with 32 neutrons

Knowledge of this almost uncharted region could help cast light on how gold and other heavy elements form in the universe

The final touches are being put to the new test facility to ready it for operation

Scientists at CERN’s ISOLDE facility have helped confirm that Nickel-78 is doubly magic by examining its nuclear neighbour, copper-79

The first in our series to celebrate 50 years of physics at CERN’s oldest experiment, the ISOLDE facility

What is a target and how is it built? The second article in a series celebrating 50 years of physics at CERN’s longest running experimental facility

In the fourth part of our series, celebrating 50 years of physics at ISOLDE, we look at the almost-complete HIE-ISOLDE upgrade

For the final part of our series celebrating 50 years of physics at ISOLDE, we see what impact research at ISOLDE can have on society
