HIE-ISOLDE Physics
- Gerda Neyens (CERN)
The experiments at HIE-ISOLDE [1] made use of all three beam lines in 2018. Higher than before maximum energies of the post-accelerated radioactive ion beams were achieved with the installation of the fourth cryomodule of the linac now pushing towards the design value of 10 MeV/u. Majority of the experiments utilised the first beam line with the MINIBALL HPGe-detector array [2] for...
The 28Mg(d,p)29Mg reaction has been carried out using a 9.47 MeV/u radioactive ion beam from HIE-ISOLDE. This is the first physics measurement using the newly commissioned ISOLDE Solenoidal Spectrometer (ISS), which was used to detect the outgoing ions from the reaction. ISS is a spectrometer optimized for the study of direct reactions in inverse kinematics and is conceptually similar to the...
We have carried out measurements, using Miniball, of the $\gamma$-ray de-excitation of $^{222,228}$Ra and $^{222,224,226}$Rn nuclei Coulomb-excited by bombarding $^{60}$Ni and $^{120}$Sn targets. The beams of radioactive ions, having energies of between 4.25 and 5.08 MeV.A, were provided by HIE-ISOLDE. The purpose of these measurements is to determine the intrinsic quadrupole and octupole...
The shell model nowadays can provide a comprehensive view of the atomic nucleus along the Segré chart. In fact, the regions around double-shell closures are a fantastic benchmark for nuclear structure studies, since they provide a direct source of information on the nucleon-nucleon effective interaction. A case of great interest is the study of the east region around the doubly magic...
Singly-magic nuclei in the vicinity of a doubly-magic core are in the scope of interest of modern nuclear physics. Their properties can be described by the few protons (or neutrons) situated outside of the doubly-magic core, therefore, they provide information on the basic ingredients of the shell model, such as single particle energies and two-body matrix elements. One of the most interesting...
