ABOUT

What is CaFe?

CaFe is a nuclear physics experiment which seeks to investigate the detailed pairing mechanisms of short-range
correlations for a variety of nuclear targets (d, Be-9, B-10, B-11, C-12, Ca-40, Ca-48, Fe-54). Of particular interest is
are the Calcium (Ca) and Iron (Fe) targets (hence, "CaFe"), since both Calcium isotopes are "doubly-magic" (i.e., fully occupied proton and neutron energy shells) and hence very tightly bound system, and Iron, which has magic number of neutrons (28) and almost magic number of protons (26), making it an almost doubly-magic
system as well. .
