Heavy neutron rich nuclei: production and investigation

For production and investigation of heavy neutron rich nuclei devoted the new setup, which is under construction at Flerov Laboratory for Nuclear Reactions (FLNR) - JINR, Dubna now. This setup is planned to exploit available beams from the U-400M cyclotron in low energy multi-nucleon transfer reactions to study exotic neutron-rich nuclei located in the “north-east” region of nuclear map. Products from 4.5 to 9 MeV/nucleon heavy-ion collisions, such as 136Xe on 208Pb, are to be captured in a gas cell and selectively laser-ionized in a sextupole (quadrupole) ion guide extraction system
