Lecture Hall III
Neutron excess in atomic nuclei have challenged our understanding of nuclear structure and the properties of nuclear matter for decades. Rare isotope facilities have given access to the neutron-rich side of the nuclear landscape. In this colloquium Alexandre Obertelli will focus on few of the most recent experiment results in the field: the first observation of an interacting free four-neutron system, the discovery of the 28O unbound system (8 protons, 20 neutrons), as well as the description of the new experiment PUMA (antiproton Unstable Matter Annihilation) at CERN aiming at using antimatter to investigate neutron skins at the nuclear surface.
