Coulomb excitation of neutron-rich Cd isotopes at REX-ISOLDE

摘要

We report on the "safe" Coulomb excitation of neutron-rich Cd isotopes in the vicinity of the doubly magic nucleus 132Sn. The radioactive nuclei have been produced by ISOLDE at CERN and postaccelerated by the REX-ISOLDE facility. The γ-decay of excited states has been detected by the MINIBALL array. Preliminary results for the B(E2) values of 122,124Cd are consistent with expectations from phenomenological systematics.
