Description
In this Letter of Intent, we aim to study the structure of neutron-rich nuclei in the region of 78Ni. The main focus is to investigate states resulting from the coupling between excited states of the inert core and valence protons in the N=50 nuclei 79Cu and 80Zn. In addition, the proposed experiment will provide a systematic and relevant dataset on excited states in this region of the nuclear chart, extending the neutron-rich frontier by approximately two neutrons per atomic number compared to what has been achieved in previous studies with similar setup. The nuclei of interest will be produced via transfer- and fusion-induced fission reactions in inverse kinematics. The PRISMA spectrometer will be used to isotopically identify fission fragments, and the AGATA gamma tracking array will measure prompt γ rays.
