MINOS:. a vertex tracker for in-beam γ spectroscopy at relativistic energies
Abstract
In-flight gamma spectroscopy of rare isotopes at relativistic energies, from fifty to several hundreds of MeV/nucleon, is one of the most efficient tools to investigate shell effects in exotic nuclei.We propose a new method to increase the sensitivity of prompt-gamma spectroscopy by more than one order of magnitude compared to existing setups, leading to a significant step forward. The intended program is based on proton-induced knockout reactions such as (p, 2p). Experiments should take advantage of the most exotic neutron-rich beams produced at the RIBF1 in RIKEN and the upcoming european FAIR facility. MINOS has been funded by the European Research Council for the 2010-2015 period.
