Nuclear Astrophysics and High Energy Astrophysics :
modelling and observations of gamma-ray emissions, positron physics,
instrumentation, high resolution gamma-ray spectroscopy of
cosmic-sources.
- Spectral analysis of the positron-electron annihilation
emission.
- Interaction of positrons with the interstellar medium
components.
- Transport of positrons in the interstellar medium.
- Analysis of SPI/INTEGRAL data
