Description
In this talk I will describe two programs performed using radioactive beams delivered by the Isotope Separator and Accelerator (ISAC) facility at TRIUMF, Canada’s National Laboratory for Nuclear and Particle Physics located in Vancouver, BC.
The first program is focussed on comprehensive decay spectroscopy using the new spectrometer called GRIFFIN or the Gamma Ray Infrastructure For Fundamental Investigations of Nuclei, to study the structure and decay modes of nuclei situated near and far of stability. The first GRIFFIN campaign has started at the end of 2014 with studies of 46,47Ca, 115g,mCd, and 32Na via β decay.
The second program features a novel technique that uses the ion traps of the TRIUMF’s Ion Trap for Atomic and Nuclear Science (TITAN) facility to measure very weak electroncapture branching ratios (ECBRs) in a set of odd-odd nuclei to extract their ground state properties of the nuclear wave function connected to ββ decay.
The status of the GRIFFIN and TITAN-ECBR programs and their future directions will be presented.
