Feasibility of using $^{6}$Li as a probe in studying the iso-scalar giant monopole resonance (ISGMR) in unstable nuclei using inverse kinematics
ORAL
Abstract
With the advent of RIB facilities, it would be very interesting to measure the ISGMR strength distributions in nuclei far from stability. However these experiments must be done in inverse kinematics and the most appropriate solid target for this is $^{6}$Li; it also meets the requirements for being a good ISGMR probe as it is light, has T=0, and can be made thin enough that recoils can escape to be detected. However, little is known about using $^{6}$Li as a probe for the ISGMR. To that end, ISGMR measurements have been made using a $^{6}$Li probe at 60MeV/A at RCNP, Osaka University, Japan. Small-angle inelastic scattering data were obtained for $^{58}$Ni, $^{90}$Zr, and $^{116}$Sn. The results of the ISGMR strength extraction will be presented.
