2. I. MARTEL SGFDC MEETING @ UNIVERSITY OF HUELVA JULY 2007 At present RIB facilities we can customize our nuclear system (N,Z): Terra incognita  huge gene pool of nuclei !!  Fabricate “any”nucleus controlling the number of constituent protons and neutrons  OUR NUCLEAR WORKBENCH!  isolate and amplify specific physics or interactions The development of Radioactive Beam Facilities (RIB) has opened new frontiers of research for nuclear physics  Evolution of structure within these boundaries 1. Proton Rich Nuclei 2. Neutron Rich Nuclei 3. Heaviest Nuclei Frontiers Basic Idea: Study of the Structure and Dynamics of VERY Exotic Nuclei

5. I. MARTEL SGFDC MEETING @ UNIVERSITY OF HUELVA JULY 2007 Reactions with drip-line nuclei using the HYbrid DEtector array (HYDE) Motivation: Study of Direct Nuclear Reactions induced by drip line nuclei with half lifes around/below the MILISECOND  the most difficult ones? HYDE physics complementary with other existing projects: The Low-Energy Branch at FAIR  an unique facility!! Spectroscopic information: B(Eλ) values, quadrupole deformations, clustering, coupling to the continuum,… Collective phenomena and nucleon-nucleon correlations “Low energies” radioactive beams  from 5 up to 30 MeV/u What to measure?: angular distributions: elastic and inelastic scattering, break-up, transfer reactions,… FAZIA & GASPARD (GANIL/SPIRAL2)  half life down to 10ms EXL (FAIR)  half life down to s HYDE(FAIR/LEB)  half life down/below to ms  drip line!!
