Gamma-ray Spectroscopy enabled by ARIEL re-accelerated rare isotope beams
- Krzysztof Starosta (Krzysztof Starosta)
TIGRESS has been used successfully over the past decade for nuclear structure studies using Coulomb excitation, coupled to the BAMBINO array of dual silicon detectors. I will briefly introduce the method, the benefits of the experimental setup and highlight some recent successes. I will then discuss future opportunities for the programme, focussing on the new capabilities that ARIEL will deliver.
Transfer reactions provide a powerful and selective tool to probe the
microscopic structure of atomic nuclei. In particular, they are
sensitive to single-particle occupancies and wave-function overlaps,
offering direct insight into the interplay between single-particle and
collective degrees of freedom. This makes them ideally suited to
investigate shape coexistence in nuclei.

Octupole-deformed nuclei represent quantum many-body systems in which spatial reflection symmetry is broken in the body-fixed frame, while the symmetry must be restored in the laboratory frame. Such nuclei therefore provide a unique opportunity to investigate fundamental symmetry properties in atomic nuclei. However, the nature of octupole deformation remains insufficiently understood because...
