Abstract

In spite of a large amount of the existing experimental data in the region of low-energy proton- and photon-nuclear interactions, new experimental measurements are still needed to gain insight into a number of problems in nuclear physics. Particularly, the stellar nucleo-synthesis, the study of the resonance states of light nuclei, the underlying mechanisms of the (p,n), (p,α) and (γ,p), (γ,n) reactions are of great interest. For this purpose, the possibility of exploitation of existing electron linear accelerator and cyclotron C18/18, which was launch out recently at AANL (Yerevan Physics Institute), are discussed. The upgrade of the existing electron machine and the purchase of a new modern one for the study of the aforementioned nuclear physics problems are presented as well.
