MARA is a new in-flight recoil separator mainly for studies of the exotic isotopes close to the N~Z line and close to the proton-drip line produced in fusion evaporation reactions. MARA consists of a quadrupole triplet followed by an electrostatic deflector and a magnetic dipole. It has two main functions: separate a primary beam from products and give additional mass over charge selectivity...
Thermal neutron capture gamma-ray spectroscopy and prompt gamma-ray
spectroscopy of fission fragments are powerful tools to obtain detailed nuclear
structure information for nuclides close to stability and medium mass neutron-
rich isotopes. This nuclear structure information can be used for the test of
nuclear models, as well as for the extraction of quantities important for nuclear...
The opportunities and features of the analytical techniques such as Rutherford Backscattering Spectrometry (RBS) or Nuclear Reaction Analysis (NRA) available at the 4MV Dynamitron Tandem accelerator in Bochum will be presented and illustrated with examples from the ongoing research programs. In particular diffusion studies in geological systems will be discussed in more detail. Since such...
The increase of energy of the ISOLDE radioactive beams made possible through the HIE-ISOLDE project has opened new possibilities for reactions studies with exotic beams. A particular challenge is presented by the light nuclei where unbound final states play an important role and the role of the continuum is by now known to be important. Theoretical work on the reaction mechanisms involved...
