Nuclear spectroscopy at KISS

Where:  

508/1-001 at CERN

We have developed the KEK Isotope Separation System (KISS) [1] at RIKEN to study the nuclear structure of the nuclei in the vicinity of neutron magic number N = 126 and 152 from the astrophysical interest. These neutron-rich nuclei have been produced by using multinucleon transfer reactions [2] with the combinations of the low-energy 136Xe/238U beams and the production targets of W, Ir, and Pt. At the KISS facility, these radioisotopes are ionized by applying in-gas-cell resonant laser ionization technique. In the ionization process, we can perform laser ionization spectroscopy of the refractory elements with the atomic number Z = 72-78. Ionized unstable nuclei are transported to beta-gamma decay station [3] for half-life measurements or MRTOF-MS [4] for precise mass measurements.
In the talk, we will introduce the KISS facility, report the recent experimental results, and the perspective of future plan at KISS.
