Summary Relativistic Coulomb M1 excitation of neutron-rich 85 Br physics goal - to fix the relative spacing between the  p 1/2 and  p 3/2 orbitals in the neutron rich nucleus 85 Br methodological goal - to show that the method of relativistic Coulomb excitation is a reliable experimental tool for quantitative study of M1 excitation strengths in exotic nuclei Requires RIB at relativistic energies – unique at GSI Requires capability for high resolution  -ray spectrometry at v/c  50-80% - needs AGATA
