100Sn Region “In-Beam”

MUST have Mass Selection

MUST have super-selective trigger.

Advantages: Count rate, Compact geometry favors FMA trigger, Efficiency for high energy gamma rays, Excellent Doppler Correction.

To identify excited 2+ state (beyond the 2+1) in

vibrational nucleus (B(E2)~1Wu) with Gammasphere for 2 weeks beam time we need 105pps. For complete spectroscopy 106-107 pps will be needed!

The Gretina Advantage

This kind of experiment is a “singles” study.

Rates will be low with CARIBU beams, so rate is not an issue.(Though probably needing an active beam detector)

BUT

Recoil velocity is well defined in direction, but large (~7%)

Gammasphere does not Doppler correct well, as gamma angle is not well defined, so lines are many 10’s keV broad …. sharpening them back to ~5keV will be equivalent (in sensitivity) to 10 times more beam.

Inelastic Transfer

Is a dirty business…..

Lots of exotic nuclei can be made by

multi-neutron transfer....especially

starting with CARIBU beam

GRETINA counting at 50,000Hz is

needed to improve on Gammasphere

stable-beam transfer studies
