Abstract
The next years will see the completion of the radioactive ion beam facility SPES (Selective Production of Exotic Species) and the upgrade of the accelerators complex at Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare – Legnaro National Laboratories (LNL) opening up new possibilities in the fields of nuclear structure, nuclear dynamics, nuclear astrophysics, and applications. The nuclear physics community has organised a workshop to discuss the new physics opportunities that will be possible in the near future by employing state-of-the-art detection systems. A detailed discussion of the outcome from the workshop is presented in this report.

Copyright, Publisher and Additional Information: | Funding Information: Open access funding provided by Università degli Studi di Padova within the CRUI-CARE Agreement. Funding Information: The NEPIR-0 is almost completely funded by the Italian Ministry for University Research (MUR), within the Italian SPARE (Space Radiation Shielding) project that deals with health risks due to cosmic radiation. In this phase the neutron source is a relatively simple, thick, low power (100 W) beryllium target located inside the conduit between the cyclotron hall and experimental hall of the SPES building []. The 3 m thick wall of the cyclotron cave provides shielding and the conduit acts as a collimator for the neutron beam directed to the neutron’s experimental area. The expected neutron beam has a continuum spectrum with a different cut-off according to different proton energies. In this phase, a low proton current will be used ( 1 A) to reduce the radiation protection problems. The phase-0 facility will be open to academic and industrial users, to test microelectronic components and devices, for neutron detector characterization, and neutron shielding materials for space missions, in partnership with ASI.
