Description
The Miniball gamma-ray spectrometer at ISOLDE-CERN is employed to investigate both collective and single-particle nuclear properties of radioactive isotopes. The spectrometer comprises eight assemblies of three high-purity germanium detectors, and is complemented with ancillary silicon detectors for particle detection. It exploits the re-accelerated radioactive ion beams provided by the HIE-ISOLDE facility to perform Coulomb excitation and nucleon transfer reactions.
The 2024 Miniball campaign at ISOLDE focused on Coulomb excitation reaction experiments to investigate nuclear deformation for medium-mass and heavy nuclei. Highlights of the recent experiments performed at Miniball will be presented.
