Description

Over the past few years, a new active-target detector, MATE (Multi-purpose Active-target Time projection chamber for nuclear Experiments), has been developed at IMP-CAS. The primary goal is to investigate exotic phenomena, such as the shell evolution in unstable nuclei. In this presentation, I will introduce the current status and performance of MATE, together with several related experiments. In particular, I will introduce the study of new proton magicity at Z=6 through the $^{11}$C+$\alpha$ inelastic scattering experiment performed at RIBLL1-HIRFL. In addition, some experimental plans will also be mentioned.
