We present the results of an experiment in which the structure of neutron-rich nuclei located in the vicinity of N=40 was studied. The importance of our results comes from the fact that knowing the behaviour of the neutron g9/2 orbital with increasing number of neutrons is one of the key points in defining the structure of these nuclei at low excitation energy. The nuclei of interest were produced by fragmentation of a 86Kr beam at 60MeV/u on a thick Be target at GANIL (France). Preliminary results on 75Cu and 78Ga isomers will be presented together with tentative spin and parity assignments.

In this work we present results from the characterization of both LaCl3:Ce scintillation and polycrystalline diamond detectors to be used for measurements of prompt gamma radiation emitted in fission. The properties of these new detector types, such as excellent timing resolution and improved energy resolution will allow to obtain fission data with higher accuracy than those available today.
