In Trace Analysis and Spectroscopy (TASISPEC) lab, our primal goal is to provide a firm and sound understanding of fundamental reaction mechanisms involved in heavy-ion-induced nuclear reactions at low and intermediate energies. Studies in diverse reaction dynamics ranging from medium mass to heavy mass regions exhibiting complete-incomplete fusion, pre-equilibrium emission, fusion-fission, and transfer reaction dynamics is being performed for the past several years. Modeling of the reaction data with nuclear reaction codes and decay models is conducted to interpret the underlying reaction mechanisms. The low-energy fusion reactions result in many neutron-deficient radionuclides, out of which, several are application-based. The production and chemical separation of several such radionuclides including 101Pd, 97Ru, 68Ga, 99mTc, 93mMo, and Tc isotopes have earlier been optimized and studied. The heavy-ion-based research is being carried out on advanced accelerator facilities. The facilities include the premier labs of the country, including IUAC (New Delhi), BARC- TIFR (Mumbai), VECC (Kolkata), etc.
