Coulomb excitation

Stable beam experiments• usually multi-step excitation and complicated level schemes• for deformed nuclei it may be useful to couple all matrix elements insideeach rotational band• beam intensities of the order of 10 9 pps: particle detectors at backwardangles• lifetime of several states known: no need for other kind of normalisation• statistics enough for particle-gamma angular correlations10dσ/dΩ (b/sr)10.12 1+4 1+6 1+0.01A B C D0 30 60 90 120 150 180θ c.m.(deg)Magda Zielińska, CEA Saclay HIL student workshop, 1 March 2012 - p. 16/23
