LISA ITN
The LISA (Laser Ionisation and Spectroscopy of Actinides) consortium aims to train a new generation of experts in radioactive ion beam research and applications, laser spectroscopy, scientific laser technologies and atomic theorists whilst they work towards the goal of vastly improving our understanding of the atomic and nuclear properties of the chemical elements known as the actinides (atomic number Z ≥ 89).
Whilst this research is an essential prerequisite for unravelling the structure of the superheavy elements at the end of Mendeleev’s table, the value of this activity extends far beyond the fields of fundamental atomic and nuclear physics.
In-depth knowledge of the nuclear properties of an isotope and the atomic properties of the element, is a precursor for understanding their practical applications and also crucial to their identification and handling. Immediate valorization of these findings will be sought out in the fields of radioecology and nuclear medicine.

LISA Training Kick-off & LISA Mid-Term Review, 24-26 Nov 2020
LISA Training Kick-off is compulsory to the LISA ESRs and few places are also opened to external young researchers (master, PhD, young post-doc). Participants are introduced to all the topics of the network and team building activities are used to generate a sense of community. This event also counts towards the obtention of the LISA…
