Fission Fragment Studies by Gamma-Ray Spectrometry with the Mass Separator Lohengrin
Abstract
A gamma spectrometric technique was implemented at the exit of the fission fragment separator of the ILL. It allows a precise measurement of isotopic yields of most important actinides in the heavy fragment region by an unambiguous identification of the nuclear charge of the fragments selected by the mass spectrometer. The status of the project and last results are reviewed. A spin-off of this activity is the identification of unknown nanosecond isomers in exotic nuclei through the observation of a disturbed ionic charge distribution. This technique has been improved to provide an estimation of the lifetime of the isomeric state.
