Measurement of the GMR and the GQR in unstable nuclei using the MAYA active target

C. Monrozeau (Ph. D), E. Khan, Y. Blumenfeld

Motivations: exotic modes ?

•Few measurements on GR in unstable nuclei IVGDR•GQR and GMR soft modes are predicted !

Terasaki et al, Phys. Rev. C71 (2006) 34310

Motivations: equation of state

• GMR breathing mode density variation around 0 (few %)

Multipole Decomposition Analysis

• Isoscalar GMR and GQR measured in the 56Ni unstable nucleus• Use of MAYA active target with d gas• 16h of 104 pps beam• Results compatible with the 58Ni (stable) data• The method works !

•Improvements : identification & d breakup, reaction model

• Next : neutron rich Ni isotopes, 132Sn ACTAR active target
