Major campaign using ‘retired EUROBALL’ cluster detectors for fragmentation-based nuclear spectroscopy.
Stopped-Beam Campaign to study decays from isomers and following beta-decay. Three experiments for ‘isomer only’ part ran in Feb/Mar’061. N=Z~43 nuclei (107Ag beam, PHR)2. N=126, ‘south’ ( 208Pb beam, Zsolt Podolyák)3. 54Ni/54Fe isospin symmetry (58Ni beam, Dirk Rudolph)
To run in July 2006, • 130Cd isomers (136Xe beam, Andrea Jungclaus)• 130Cd via fission (238U beam, Magda Gorska) • Fission fragments for A~110 (238U beam, Alison Bruce)

Use FRS@GSI or LISE3@GANIL to ID nuclei. Transport some in isomeric states (TOF~ x00ns).Stop and correlate isomeric decays with nuclei id.

• Protons and Neutrons are 2 states of the same particle
• Pauli principle prevents T=0 states for nn and 2He
• Deuteron (T=0,S=1) is the only A=2 bound system
Neutrons: Tzn=+1/2
Protons: Tzp=-1/2
Tz=1/2(N-Z)

• Long standing problem…. studies of N=Z nuclei and T=0, T=1 competition.
• One can obtain spectroscopic info. from isomeric states

Summary of odd-odd N=Z Spectroscopy (to Mar. 06)
T=0,1 Competition in N=Z nuclei
Spins of the GS in odd-odd N=Z nuclei can help identify
which mode is dominant
With increasing mass there is competition between T=0 and T=1 collective modes

Both and in either/or
5/2+[422] or
5/2-[303]
This would give the isomer spin 5+ (or perhaps 5- ?)
Would not likely decay by to the T=1 4+ due to
selection rule for E1 between T=0 and T=1 states. From A. Garnsworthy
86Tc
Previously Proposed Structure of 86Tc from GANIL expt. data
• Ground state spin assignment inferred through Fermi super allowed β-decay half life (see J Garces Narro et.al., Phys. Rev. C 63 (2001) 044307)
• All other information is uncertain

• 206Hg (Z=80) is the most ‘neutron-rich’ N=126even-even isotope withstructural information todate….how robust is theN=126 shell ?
• Look at isomeric B(M) for seniority isomers basedon proton (h11/2)-n states.
