Description
The combination of a germanium detector array, charged particle detector
and recoil mass spectrometer with the neutron-rich radioactive beams
available upon completion of ARIEL
will allow for an entirely new suite of measurements using
fusion-evaporation, radiative-capture, and transfer reactions. This
presentation will discuss the selectivity achieved by coupling the
TIGRESS gamma-ray spectrometer and the EMMA mass spectrometer alongside a
suite of auxiliary detectors housed within TIGRESS such as TIP. This
combination of apparatus opens up a range of new studies into nuclear
structure and astrophysics by enabling high-energy-resolution gamma-ray
spectroscopy and reaction measurements of weak
fusion-evaporation reactions in the presence of dominant background
reactions. The combined capabilities of TIGRESS, EMMA, and TIP in the context of a fusion-evaporation study of the region near doubly magic 56Ni without the requirement of neutron spectroscopy will be the core topic discussed.
