My intention is to discuss the general picture of physics cases addressed with AGATA at LNL, with one or two examples presented in more detail, as well as provide information on available ancillary detectors, as well as perspectives of studies in the second part of the campaign involving AGATA at zero degrees.
Thermal neutron induced reactions are used at the Institut Laue-Langevin (ILL, Grenoble) with the high-resolution gamma-ray spectroscopy setup FIPPS (Fission Product Prompt gamma-ray Spectrometer). After a general introduction about the nuclear physics activities at ILL, recent results obtained in different experiments at FIPPS will be reported, including those using the innovative technique...
The EXOGAM array was installed at the NFS beam line at GANIL; Ni and Pb target have been bombarded by fast neutrons up to 40 MeV and the prompt spectroscopy was performed in the vicinity of 58Ni and 208Pb. The detailed gamma-gamma analysis will investigate which part of the level scheme in the recoil is populated in the fast neutron induced reaction. Preliminary results in 57Ni and 57Co will...
In the presentation, I will focus on what we can do with the GRIFFIN spectrometer, it's potential for investigating nuclear structure, and some highlights of work that we have done with it showing examples of studies near stability with very high beam rates, and far from stability and very weak beams.
A survey of decay properties of excited 0+ states in regions of the nuclear chart well known for shape coexistence phenomena has been recently performed. The aim is to identify examples of extreme shape coexistence, namely, coexisting deformed and spherical (or close-to-spherical) nuclear states, with wave functions well separated in the Potential Energy Surface (PES) with coordinates in the...
The gamma ray spectroscopy of nuclear fission provides a very useful tool to study both the nuclear structure of neutron-rich nuclei and the fission process itself. Spectroscopy in direct kinematics allows the fission fragments to stop in 1-2 ps and hence allows spectroscopic study with the intrinsic resolution of Germanium without Doppler broadening. In this presentation I will focus on ideas...
