Description

In this presentation we give an overview of recent developments for measurements with the recoil distance Doppler-shift method (RDDS) by our group. We will present a new plunger device for RDDS experiments at the GALILEO spectrometer at LNL and its performance in a recent commissioning experiment. We will report on RDDS measurements on exotic nuclei in the latest campaigns at GANIL with AGATA coupled to the magnetic spectrograph VAMOS where the Cologne plunger for deep inelastic reactions was successfully used. Within this context special respect will be paid to a very recent experiment of our group on neutron rich nuclei around 54Ti. We will also discuss target problems that appeared during this experiment. Further, new plunger devices will be reviewed that are developed by our group for future experimental campaigns with stable and radioactive beams in different energy regimes, for example, a plunger for HIE-ISOLDE. Supported by the BMBF, Grant No. 05P15PKFNA and 05P15PKCIA and the DFG, Grant No. DE 1516/3-1.
