However, the wide angular distributions of the multinucleon transfer products lead to experimental challenges in their separation and identification.
Currently we are building the NEXT experiment at the Partrec facility in Groningen to overcome these challenges. Part of NEXT is a solenoid separator which focuses a large fraction of the target-like transfer products emitted in a forward angel of 10° to 40° towards a gas-catcher. From there they will be
injected into a MultiReflection Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometer for precision mass measurement and sample preparation for back-ground free mass spectrometry. Thus, even very long-lived, heavy
transfer products can be identified and studied with NEXT.
I will provide an overview of NEXT and also highlight some recent results from multinucleon transfer studies at the RITU separator at the Accelerator Laboratory of the University of Jyväskylä.
