Direct reactions: transfer

Introduction Reactions at REX Other results HIE-ISOLDE Summary

  • Direct reactions at ISOLDE

Elastic scattering Coulomb excitation (inelastic) Transfer reactions

  • From light to heavy nuclei…
  • Q-values ⇒ position of levels
  • Angular distribution ⇒ spin and parities
  • Cross sections

⇒ (relative) spectroscopic factors, ANCs ⇒ single-particle character of states, centroids of single-particle strengths

Summary

Introduction Reactions at REX Other results HIE-ISOLDE Summary

So far

  • Successful measurements of transfer reactions

with REX, T-REX and Miniball

  • Importance of γ-ray detection
  • From light nuclei up to Zn
  • New results for N=40 and N=50 around 68Ni and 78Ni

HIE-ISOLDE

  • Isomeric beams
  • 5 MeV/nucelon → Sn region, (d,3He)…
  • 10 MeV/nucelon → Pb region, unique for ISOLDE
  • New instrumentation will also open new possibilities
