The department was formed in 1965 as a division of the Institute of Physics of the Ukrainian NAS (in 1970 it has become a part of the Institute for Nuclear Research). Since 1965 till 2000 the department was headed by the academician of NAS of Ukraine Professor О. F. Nemets.
Main fields of scientific activity:
| • | Experimental studies of nuclear reactions induced by the beams of light particles, heavy ions and sec-ondary radioactive nuclei at low and intermediate energies. |
| • | Mechanisms of the binary and many-particle re-actions with light nuclei. |
| • | The structure of weakly-bound nuclei with neu-tron and proton excess. |
| • | The decay properties of nuclear unbound states produced in many-particle reactions. |
| • | Resonance spectroscopy of exotic radioactive nuclei. |
The main results of Nuclear Reactions Department, list of publications and conference contributions are collected in KINR Annual Reports - (2007), (2008), (2009).
