1. Poland@ISOLDE Nuclear physics in Poland and plansrelated to ISOLDE Marek Pfützner ISOLDE Collaboration Committee Meeting, CERN, November 4, 2014

4. Some history ● 1964 -1991 – Poland was the only country from behind the Iron Curtain having the oficial „observer” status at CERN ● July 1, 1991 – Poland becomes a member of CERN ● early 90’s(?) – Poland became a member of ISOLDE (W. Kurcewicz), after two years the funding was refused 2004: 50 years of CERN – a review by W. Kurcewicz lists 50 papers from ISOLDE experiments coauthored by Polish physicists  Some projects initiated and lead by scientists from Poland (before 2004):Octupole deformation in actinides (IS322 – W. Kurcewicz) New neutron-rich isotopes of bismuth, lead, and thallium(IS354 – K. Rykaczewski)Search for detour transitions in REC decay of 81Kr (IS355 – M. Pfützner)Coulomb excitations of neutron-rich 88Kr beam (IS424 – J. Iwanicki)

7. Cluster transfer reactions for gamma-ray yrast spectroscopy AX + 7LiA+3-xY+α+xn Bogdan Fornal Institute of Nuclear Physics, Polish Academy of Sciences Krakow, Poland A new method for gamma-ray spectroscopic studies of yrast and non-yrast structuresin neutron-rich nuclei. It relies on the triton transfer process induced by radioactive beams on a 7Li target. Z Z+1  n ~2º 7Li AX A+1Y Z n Z+1 

8. Gamma spectroscopy of n-rich 98,99Sr nuclei by the incomplete fusion reaction of 98Rb on 7Li: introduction to HIE-ISOLDE studies - experiment with MINIBALL + T-REX at REX-ISOLDE Spokespersons: Bogdan Fornal (Kraków) and Silvia Leoni (Milano) Collaboration: IFJ PAN Krakow – Univ. Milano - SLCJ Warsaw – ISOLDE CERN Reaction: 98Rb+ 7Li @ 2.85 MeV/A IS536 Detection system: MINIBALL + T-REX Coincidencec between g rays and a particles Results: Transfer of tritons into 98Rb, with emission of alpha particles, has a sizeable cross-section as predicted by DWBA calculations. By tagging on a particles one obtains clean g-ray spectra from triton transfer products. Yrast, near-yrast and non-yrast states are populated.
