Studies of exotic nuclear reactions at the RESOLUT facility

COFFEE_KLATCH  · Invited

Abstract

The {\sc resolut} facility at Florida State University's accelerator laboratory produces beams of short-lived nuclei using the in-flight method. Beams such as $^{6}$He, $^{7}$Be, $^{8}$Li, $^{8}$B, $^{17}$F, $^{19}$O, $^{18}$Ne and $^{25}$Al have been successfully used in experiments. The facility has been used to develop innovative experimental techniques, such as the low-energy neutron detector {\sc resoneut}, and the active-target detector {\sc anasen}, which has been developed as a collaboration between FSU and LSU. These detectors have been employed in direct and indirect reaction measurements with impact on astrophysics. An Indiana-University led campaign studying fusion cross sections of exotic nuclei at {\sc resolut} has also been successful. The results from these three recent RIB campaigns at {\sc resolut} will be summarized.
