Description
The ISOLDE Solenoidal Spectrometer specialises in the study of transfer reactions in inverse kinematics, using the solenoid spectrometer technique pioneered at Argonne National Laboratory [1]. It was fully commissioned in 2021 with a new silicon array, and has since undergone three successful physics campaigns focusing on measurements of the $(d,p)$ reaction to probe single-neutron properties in a number of nuclear systems.
This talk will outline the solenoidal spectrometer technique and highlight some of the physics results from these campaigns.
