Half-lives of heavy nuclei through α tagging

Abstract

Neutron-rich isotopes around lead, beyond N=126, have been studied exploiting the fragmentation of a 238U beam at 1 GeV/u, at the FRS-RISING setup at GSI. In order to study the half-lives of populated nuclei both α and β correlations have been exploited. © Owned by the authors, published by EDP Sciences, 2014.
