Title:     Nuclear Spectroscopy Using Radioactive Ion Beams from the HRIBF

Abstract: At the Holifield Radioactive Ion Beam Facility more than 120 beams of p-rich and n-rich radioactive ions with a wide range of intensities, purities and energies are now available to carry on pioneering studies of the study of reactions of far-from-stability nuclei. These radioactive ion beams provide a unique opportunity for a whole class of measurements that could never before be applied. A recent highlight has been the acceleration of "pure" beams of fission fragments such as 82Ge (T1/2 = 4.6s) and 132Sn (T1/2 = 40s). These semi-magic and doubly-magic nuclei are important bench marks within the chart of nuclides, because they are constraints for shell-model parameter sets. We are currently developing the required experimental tools and specialized techniques for studies in nuclear astrophysics, reaction spectroscopy, and nuclear structure research with radioactive beams. I will discuss some of the challenges encountered in recent experiments in fusion, breakup, Coulomb-excitation, transfer, resonance scattering and mass measurements with radioactive ion beams.

Stimulants available 15 minutes before the talk.
