Gamma-Ray Spectroscopy of Neutron-Rich Nuclei Populated via Multinucleon-Transfer Reactions

摘要

The methods of γ -ray spectroscopy applied to the study of neutron-rich nuclei populated via multinucleon-transfer reactions are discussed, starting from its basic principles. The latest major developments of γ -ray detector arrays, with a special emphasis on the state-of-the-art γ -ray tracking spectrometer AGATA, are also presented. Examples are taken from various experiments that illustrate the power of γ -ray arrays in the advancement of the knowledge of exotic neutron-rich nuclei.
