Description
The Miniball germanium array has been in use at REX-ISOLDE for more than six years now. Over these years, Coulomb excitation experiments have been performed on a variety of isotopes ranging from Mg (Z=12) to Rn (Z=86). Many of these Coulomb excitation experiments aim at the study of shell evolution far off the line of beta stability by measuring transition probabilities between low lying states (ex. A=30,31,32 Mg, A=74,76,78,80 Zn, A=106,108,110 Sn, ...). Other experiments aim at the investigation of shape coexistence, for example between Z=28 and Z=40 (ex. A=70 Se and A=96 Sr) and in recent years in the lead region (Z=82), ex. A=184,186,188 Hg, A=202,204 Rn. Some illustrative examples from the past years will be shown. Furthermore, a brief overview will be given of the setup and the possibilities that are offered by this. New developments and plans for the future will be highlighted as well.
