Description
Gammasphere has been in operation for over 10 years. In the initial
years, it was used almost exclusively to study nuclei produced in
fusion evaporation reactions at high spin. For example, successful
campaigns to study and characterize superdeformation throughout the
nucleonic chart were performed. In recent years, many experiments have
been directed at the study of nuclei near the proton drip line or in
the neutron rich region. These studies have utilized different
reaction types and in many instances ancillary devices such as the
FMA. In this talk, I will present several recent examples of the use
of Gammasphere to study both proton- and neutron-rich nuclei.
