Physics • HK distributions in heavy nuclei (GS) • In-beam spectroscopy of heavy nuclei (GS) • Isomers and decays of heavy nuclei (focal plane) • Super-heavy searches (focal plane) • Fast activities in proton-rich nuclei • Gas-cell and traps • …
Principle of Operation vacuum gas Bri = p/qi Br = p/qave qave ~ (v/v0) Z1/3 Br~ 0.0227 A/Z1/3 [Tm]
M/Q measurement physical separation good beam suppression high efficiency short flight path Vacuum vs Gas-Filled • no mass resolution • no separation • poor beam suppression • low efficiency • long flight path Truly complementary devices!
Existing Gas-Filled Separators • RITU - Jyvaaskylaa • BGS – Berkeley • SASSYER - Yale • GFRS - Dubna • GARIS – RIKEN • TASCA - GSI
