A new vacuum-mode separator, MARA (Mass Analyzing Recoil Apparatus) [1, 2], has been completed and has extended the research possibilities whit the existing gas-filled recoil separator, RITU [3] at JYFL-ACCLAB. The ion-optical configuration of MARA is QQQDEDM, differing significantly from the other existing in-flight separators around the world. MARA has turned out be a very reliable separator and easy to operate. The studied nuclei of interest have been produced using fusion-evaporation reactions, mainly employing symmetric or inverse kinematics. In-beam studies, isomeric studies as well as production of new isotopes have been performed at and beyond the proton dripline starting from a mass number 66 up to a mass number 180.
In this work some highlights of the latest results using the JYFL in-flight separator MARA will be given.
