Single and Multi-Nucleon Transfer Reactions for Nuclear Moment Studies Toward Radioactive-Ion Beams.

This study is a part of an experimental program to measure nuclear moments in transfer reactions. It aims to probe for a first time the nuclear -spin orientation in multi-nucleon transfer. Fist experiments were performed to measure the quadrupole moment of an isomeric state in 66Cu (Iπ = 6-, Ex = 1154 keV, T1/2 = 595(20) ns) in single nucleon transfer and the population of μs isomers in 66Cu and 63Ni in multi-nucleon transfer. The experimentally tested methodology allows broad applications toward more exotic species and feasibility of these reactions to produce species away from stability. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
