Lessons learned so far

• Using comparatively heavy targets (13C, 9Be) is a good way of studying

high-j, high-ℓ states; complementary to (d,p), (α,3He)

• Combining HPGe array and Phoswich Wall (Microball) is beneficial for

studying heavy nuclei; here the density of states is high

• Using the selectivity of transfer reactions allows to improve level schemes

previously studied via SF, fusion-evaporation, or deep-inelastic collisions;

for example, the transition intensity helps to determine the state’s parity

New tasks

• Extract nucleon-transfer spectroscopic factors from dσ/dΩCoM,PLF; based

on TLF angular-distribution data

• Explore the potential of cluster transfer, e.g., 142Ce(7Li,α)145Pr; suppress

incomplete-fusion channels, get a handle on 3H spectroscopic factors

What can be determined and how?

• For every excited state of the PLF, the Q value is obtained from the level energy and the calculated Qgg value (Q = Qgg – Elev).

• From θLab,TLF , we then calculate ΘCoM,PLF (since we are dealing with a

binary reaction).

• If only PLF is excited, ΘCoM,PLF (θTLF) and ELab,TLF(θLab,TLF) are single curves .

(If TLF is excited too, two curves are obtained, and the one corresponding to the higher ELab,TLF is picked.)

• The derived quantity is dσ/dΩCoM,PLF (θLab,TLF).

(What angle ranges can be covered?)

Phoswich Wall in-beam performance (Notre Dame FN Tandem)

Scattering experiments:• α’s, heavy ions off 197Au

(5 – 6 energies)

• 197Au(α,p)202Hg (27 MeV)

• consider energy deposited

in CsI(Tl)

• gating

Findings: Ions are well separated down to low energies (14N: Edep= 8.46 MeV) Some may be mass-identifiable at higher energies (7Li vs. 6Li)

Summary and Outlook

The Phoswich Wall was designed for strongly inverse kinematics binary reactions near the Coulomb barrier. It is not a “stand-alone” device. The new device is, in a sense, the successor for Microball/Hyball.

Starter experiments are: 7Li breakup/transfer and single-nucleon transfer studies, the latter with comparatively heavy targets. Projectile Coulomb excitation will be performed simultaneously, large angles θLab,TLF favor safe Coulex (not discussed).

The PID among the particles of interest is as good as expected. The fast-plastic and CsI(Tl) components are calibrated. The device is ready for production runs. The readout is VME based and can be easily coupled to the Myriad system of DGS and to Gretina (not discussed).

High-quality stable and CARIBU reaccelerated beams from ATLAS are crucial (timing, beam spot).
