Lifetime measurement around ¹³²Sn with the ν-Ball array
Lifetime measurement around ¹³²Sn with the ν-Ball array
Neutron-rich nuclei were studied after fast neutron-induced fission of ²³⁸U and ²³²Th at the ALTO facility in Orsay, France. The neutrons were produced with the LICORNE directional neutron source using a pulsed ⁷Li beam provided by the Tandem accelerator. The actinide targets were surrounded by the ν-Ball array to measure the de-excitation of fission fragments. The ν-Ball array is a hybrid spectrometer which consists of HPGe detectors (equipped with BGO shielding) and LaBr₃(Ce) scintillation detectors allowing for high-resolution γ-ray spectroscopy and lifetime measurements in the ns/sub-ns range. This contribution presents preliminary results on ¹³⁴Te and ¹³⁷I populated in the ²³⁸U(n,f) reaction.
