Description
High-resolution gamma-ray spectroscopy used at radioactive beam facilities is a powerful method in the study of exotic nuclei.
At GSI the RISING array (Rare Isotopes Spectroscopic INvestigation at GSI) was employed for several years to address a wide range of physical phenomena.
RISING was used in different configurations. In the fast beam campaign the Ge detectors placed mainly in the forward direction were used to record transitions following relativistic energy Coulomb excitation and secondary fragmentation.
In the stopped beam campaign relativistic radioactive beams were implanted and their subsequent gamma and beta decay investigated. In this case the germanium detectors were arranged in a close geometry around the passive stopper or an array of DSSSD detectors.
Highlights from both stopped and fast beam campaigns will be presented.
