With the present Letter of Intent we propose to measure the production yield of nuclei in the region of
238U via the 238U+124Sn multinucleon transfer reaction, by using the PRISMA+AGATA+DANTE set-up.
Special efforts will be made to get direct information on the mass and charge distributions of heavy transfer products in a region where fission processes are dominant. To this purpose, besides...
Information on the heaviest elements have been obtained up to now via fusion evaporation reactions. It is however well known that the only nuclei one can reach using fusion-evaporation reactions are neutron deficient and moreover in a very limited number (because of the limited number of beam-target combinations). An alternative to fusion-evaporation could be deep-inelastic collisions. Indeed,...
In the present Letter of Intent, we aim to study the structure of neutron-rich nuclei in the vicinity of $^{78}$Ni. The main focus is to study the states resulting from the coupling of the inert-core excited states and the valence protons in the $N=50$ $^{80}$Zn and $^{79}$Cu nuclei. In addition, the proposed experiment will provide a systematic and pertinent dataset on excited states in this...
