Description
The IS559 experiment is the first ever attempt of utilising the Oslo Method with a radioactive beam in inverse kinematics reactions. A $^{66}\mathrm{Ni}$ beam with 4.5 MeV/u hit a deuterated polyethylene target for a total of ≈ 10 days. The ultimate goal of the experiment is to look for particle-gamma coincidences from the d($^{66}\mathrm{Ni}$,p)$^{67}\mathrm{Ni}$ reaction, reconstructing the excitation energy from the proton energy on an event-by-event basis. Six large volume (3.5x8”) LaBr3:Ce detectors were coupled to the Miniball setup to boost the overall gamma detection efficiency. The charged particles were detected with the C-REX silicon setup. Level density and gamma strength function will be extracted from the resulting gamma-excitation matrix. Preliminary particle, gamma and time spectra will be presented.
