Lasers and Nuclei: Shining light across the nuclear chart

Explore how precision laser systems can be used to produce and study hyper-pure sources of radioactive material, often in sample sizes of just a few atoms! Find out more about the experimental work currently undertaken at CERN and laboratories around the world to explore the nature of nuclear matter, and how this cutting-edge research can be harnessed to benefit society. About the Speaker James Cubiss is a Lecturer in nuclear physics in the School of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Edinburgh. Prior to this, he was a researcher at the University of York, where he also completed his PhD. He conducts the majority of his work at CERN, in Geneva (Switzerland) where he is currently the spokesperson for the ISOLDE Decay Station collaboration, one of the primary nuclear physics experiments at the facility. His own research is focused on measuring microscopic shifts in atomic energy levels, from which he explores how the shape of the nucleus varies with changing particle number.
