Variety of different shapes oblate prolate triaxial Shape evolution vs spin? 50 Ru Mo 82 N=64N=66N=68 N=70 =0 =0.2 MeV =0.4 MeV =0.6 MeV 112 Ru Ru isotopes Faisal et al., PRC 82, 014321 (2010) Slide 4 March 1, 2013GRETINA workshop 20134 Shape coexistence in Kr isotopes Coulomb excitation of 74,76 Kr beams with 208 Pb target at GANIL at safe energies High-statistics data allows determination of deformation parameters Q and cos(3) for different states 74 Kr, 150 hours, 1E4 beam intensity, 99% pure Clement, PRC 75, 054313 (2007) c.m. beta gamma Slide 5 March 1, 2013GRETINA workshop 20135 Summary GRETINA+CHICO+CARIBU allows Coulomb excitation studies of neutron-rich Ru and Mo isotopes Systematic studies of the shape evolution vs. I,Z in the A=110 region (prolate, oblate, shape coexistence, triaxiality) Thanks for your attention What are the experimental limitations? Beam intensity? With December 2012 performance, 104,106 Mo possible in 12 days of beam time. 3 x increase allows 108 Mo also Beam purity? How well the impurities are known? Beam energy, E?
