Strong shell reordering may occur in several new regions of the nuclear chart at reach with current setups and beam intensities.
To achieve sufficient statistics and resolution for the spectroscopy of these rare isotopes produced at very low yields, we focus on in-beam gamma spectroscopy with the combination of gamma detectors, a liquid hydrogen target and a vertex tracker device dedicated to quasi free scattering reactions to populate the nuclear states of interest [1,2].
We perform our experiment to reveal the structure of neutron-rich nuclei at the frontier of what can be accessed experimentally. We focus our experiments at the best Radioactive Isotope Beam facility world-wide, the RIBF of RIKEN, Japan.
