Giacomo Ricigliano (SFB 1245, B07) defended his dissertation entitled „Probing the origin of heavy elements in extreme conditions: the message of kilonovae“ successfully. Congratulations.

We have just published in Phys. Rev. Lett. the result of the first experimental test of the Ratio Method to study halo nuclei.

The annual workshop of SFB 1245 took place from May 5 to 9 in Bad Honnef. The latest physics results in the SFB 1245 and in related fields were discussed in overall 36 presentations, including a few invited speakers.

Our paper on charge radii of scandium isotopes has been published in Phys. Rev. Letters today. By measuring the isotopes 47-49 Sc we could establish the charge radii across the f 7/2 shell.

Daniela Tandara's poster “Analysis of the Composition of the Beam from a Penning Ion Source at COALA” won a poster prize at the DPG's Spring Meeting of the Section Hadrons and Nuclei in Cologne.

Tim Stetz (SFB 1245, B02) defended his dissertation entitled „Evolution of isovector-quadrupole valence-shell excitations of heavy vibrational nuclei“ successfully. Congratulations.
