2 RISING = Rare ISotope INvestigations at GSI
3 major ‘campaigns’ so far using 15 EUROBALL Clover germanium dets. 1) ‘Fast’ (in-beam) Campaign 2) gRISING Campaign 3) ‘Stopped’ (isomer) Campaign

3 Projectile Fragmentation Reaction Process
Reaction Products still travelling at Relativistic Energies Beam at Relativistic Energy ~0.5-1 GeV/A FIREBALL Formation of a compound nucleus Target Nucleus Abrasion Ablation

4 Use FRS@GSI or LISE3@GANIL to ID nuclei.

Transport some in isomeric states (TOF~ x00ns). Stop and correlate isomeric decays with nuclei id. scint (veto) eg. R. Grzywacz et al. Phys. Rev. C55 (1997) p1126 ⇨ LISE C. Chandler et al. Phys. Rev.

10 Physics aims and regions for the
Stopped RISING Campaigns (2006)

11 What is an isomer ? Metastable (long-lived) nuclear excited state. ‘Long-lived’ could mean ~10-19 seconds, shape isomers in a-cluster resonances or ~1015 years 180Ta 9-->1+ decay. Why/when do you get isomers? (i) large change in spin (‘spin-trap’) (ii) small transition energy between states (seniority isomers) (iii) dramatic change in structure/shape (fission isomers) and/or underlying symmetry (K-isomers) What do isomers tell you ? Isomers occur due to single particle structure. Transitions are hindered between states with very different structures (note, this is not case for seniority isomers).

12 From P.M.Walker and G.D.Dracoulis, Physics World Feb. 1994

23 T=0, 1 Competition in Deformed N=Z odd-odd Nuclei
Use projectile fragmentation to populate exotic N=Z=41,43 nuclei 82Nb , 86Tc. Measure gammas from isomeric decays. Construct (partial) decay schemes Look for energy competition between T=1 (Ip=0+) and T=0 (Ip=1+ ?) lowest states.

25 Number of levels below 1 MeV in odd-odd nuclei
