  1. Recent Experimental Results from HELIOS A new approach to reactions in inverse kinematics A. H. Wuosmaa Western Michigan University

  2. Why still study nucleon transfer? • Renewed emphasis on transfer reactions with RIBS: • Properties of nuclei far from stability, esp. near “closed” shells (spins, parities, spectroscopic factors, s.p. energies, residual interactions) • Importance of the tensor interaction • Test/tune new shell-model interactions • Broader applications: • e.g. astrophysics, stewardship (“surrogates” for capture reactions) Life is muchmore difficult with inverse kinematics and radioactive beams
