Near Barrier Reactions

• Our present focus is on the fusion mechianism with proton-rich and neutron-rich nuclei at energies near the Coulomb barrier.
• Inverse kinematic reactions and the gas filled split-pole spectrograph are used to optmize the efficiency for evaporation residue (ER) collection.
• The focal plane detector provides position, energy and time-of-flight information for particle identification. ER can be identified even when a large elastic scattering rate is present.
