Future Perspectives at Lnl:. Nuclear Structure of (moderately) Neutron Rich Nuclei by Means of Multi-Nucleon Transfer and Deep-Inelastic Reactions

Nuclear structure studies of nuclei far from the stability valley has been one of the main goals of experimental and theoretical nuclear physics in the last years. In particular the interest in the study of nuclei with large variation of the proton/neutron ratios stems from the investigation of the density dependence of the effective interaction of nucleons in nuclei with exotic N/Z ratios whose investigation has become one of the main aims of radioactive nuclear beam projects (like SPES at Legnaro National Laboratories (LNL)). Moderately neutron rich nuclei can be produced making use of the high intensity stable ion beams provided by the LNL accelerator complex (PIAVE + ALPI) by deep-inelastic and multi-nucleon transfer reactions. Spectroscopyc studies will be performed using an array of Clover γ-ray detectors coupled to the PRISMA magnetic spectrometer. The physic aims achievable with this setup will complement studies performed with current radioactive beam (RIB) facilities, being competitive at least until the second generation of RIB facilities (like SPES, SPIRAL II, SIRIUS or RIA) will be fully operational.
