A LYSO-based compact detector system for nuclear science applications

In the field of experimental nuclear physics it has often been observed that signatures of exotic nuclear states are suppressed in the dominant presence of long lived background states. In order to extract detailed physics information regarding these short lived states, it becomes imperative to devise methods which can focus on these channels of interest. Exploring, identifying and understanding the structure of such nuclei can answer questions regarding not only nuclear structure studies, but can also play a key role to address several astrophysical issues
