The development of collectivity along the N = Z is one of the subjects that has recently attracted great experimental efforts. In particular, heavy N = Z nuclei in the mass region A = 80 are expected to be some of the most deformed ground states which have been found[1] in mid-mass nuclei, typically 8p−8h, 12p−12h for e.g. the cases of 76Sr, 80Zr. This strong enhancement of collectivity with...
The method of integral perturbed correlations (IPAC) will briefly be introduced and its potential for application at RIB facilities, in particular FAIR, will be considered. IPAC is a well-known method for the measurement of typically ns-lived excited states. It is based on the precession of nuclei in their excited states in a strong magnetic field, requiring a gamma-gamma coincidence...
