MLL Tandem laboratory 14 MV Tandem • Ion sources: • Polarized hydrogen • Sputter source • AMS source
Electron conversion spectroscopy: • E0 strength in deformed nuclei • states in 2nd and 3rd minimum MLL Tandem: Nuclear Spectroscopy Q3D: Light-ion transfer reactions with ~ 5 keV resolution - states in the 2nd and 3rd minimum in actinides - studies of single-particle structure - discovery of multitude of 0+ states - investigation of cluster states • MLL Trap (under construction): • mass measurements of highly charged ions • use of gas-ion-catcher • sympathetic cooling with laser cooled Mg+ ions • simultaneaous use of two precision traps • charge breeding with EBIS final goal: Dm/m ≈ 10-10
Experimental search for 0+ states at Q3D • - (p,t) reactions • using 25 MeV protons • 3-5 angles MLL Uni Köln Yale Bucharest Surrey 2005 (D.A. Meyer) Plot by Ryan Winkler (Yale)
Investigating the multiple-humped fission barrier in Actinides: 236U P. Thirolf, D. Habs, A. Krasznahorkay (Debrecen) • Transmission resonances in prompt fission probability: coupling of compound states in 1. minimum to collective states in 2. and 3. minimum • rotational substructure of transmission resonances resolved in 235U(d,pf)236U, Ed= 10 MeV • rotational band fit of spectrum and angular distribution: • ->resonance is high-K hyperdeformed deep third minimum: EIII= 2.7(4) MeV M.

Concept of the MLLTRAP facility • fusion reaction products from Tandem via buffer gas stopping cell (MLL-IonCatcher) • measurement with Penning trap of highly-charged ions • simultaneous relative measurement of individual ions in two precision traps • (sympathetic) cooling of highly-charged ions with laser-cooled Mg+ ions inside Penning trap and Paul trap • replacement of “classical” preparatory trap inside Penning set-up by A- and Z-selecting devices outside Penning trap • charge breeding with (commercial) EBIS final goal: Dm/m ≈ 10-10 Physics:Q values for Vud MLL masses from radioactive beams GANIL (SPIRAL 2)
