Research activity at the JAEA tandem facility

Nishio, Katsuhisa   

Research activities at the JAEA tandem facility will be presented. In the field of heavy-ion reactions, fusion-fission and quasifission have been studied for the synthesis of super-heavy elements. Setup for multi-nucleon transfer reactions to study fission of exotic nuclei will be discussed, which is also linked to atomic energy applications. Using the JAEA Recoil Mass Separator, we are trying to produce proton-rich N=Z nuclei beyond Sn in the fusion-evaporation reactions under the collaboration with ORNL, Tennessee, GSI, and University of York. Other activities using the JAEA ISOL and the magnetic spectrograph (ENMA) will be introduced.
