This research theme is concerned with the generation of new knowledge of exotic nuclear systems.
The research falls under the title of nuclear structure physics and the Brighton group uses the techniques of beta- and gamma-ray spectroscopy to measure excited levels in nuclei fabricated in controlled reactions. The structures observed are compared with the results of state-of-the art calculations.
Recent projects include:
- The study of excited levels in 100Mo following the beta decay of 100Nb (at Jyvaskyla)
- The study of isomeric states in exotic A~100 nuclei populated in the fission of 238U
- The study of excited states in 106Zr following the beta decay of 106Y (at GSI)
Facilities we use:
- Physics research at the University of Jyvaskyla
- Rising campaign at GSI
- GSI
- Australian National Laboratory
