Highlights of experimental results from gammasphere

  • Published:

Abstract

The large improvement in theresolving power of the new generation of γ-ray arrays is providing new insights in the understanding of the interplay between collective and single-particle motion at extreme conditions. In this paper I will review some of the technical aspects ofGammasphere and discuss a few examples among the broad range of nuclear physics topics that can be addressed with such a detector system. These will include: (i) Superdeformation in the Mass 60 and 80 regions and (ii) Lifetime measurements ofmagnetic rotational bands.
