Shell effects and pairing correlations in fission investigated with radioactive beams

Abstract:

The secondary-beam facility at GSI allows to produce a large variety of exotic nuclei at relativistic energies. This technique offers a unique oportunity to investigate systematically fission in inverse kinematics. In the present experiment, the fission properties of more than 70 different actinides and preactinides were investigated at low excitation energy. The elemental yields and kinetic energies of the fission residues present new signatures of shell structure and pairing correlations.
