Laboratori Nazionali di Legnaro

[2] The main future project of the laboratory is the Selective Production of Exotic Species (SPES), in which various radionuclides will be produced for research and medicinal purposes.

After initial investigations demonstrated the conceived role of the Legnaro Laboratories in nuclear physics research, the facility became integrated into the INFN in 1968.

The installation of new facilities enabled more advanced studies to be performed at the Legnaro laboratories, increasing its importance in international research in nuclear physics.

[3] A new accelerator for the production of radioactive ion beams has been under construction since 2007,[4] and the alpha phase of the project, featuring a new cyclotron, was inaugurated in December 2016.

These include nuclei near the nuclear drip lines and shell closures that play an important role in the astrophysical r-process.

[10] The major apparatus installed in the laboratories includes PRISMA[11] (heavy ion magnetic spectrometer, with trajectory reconstruction system), GALILEO[12] (Hyper pure Germanium gamma-ray detector system, that can be complemented by scintillator detectors) and EXOTIC (a device for light exotic beam production and study).
