Proton Rich Nuclei
Ancillary neutron and charged-particle detectors may be combined with
large gamma-ray spectrometers to identify weak isotopes far from stability.
The Liverpool group has used such set-ups to study proton-rich (or
neutron-deficient) nuclei in the mass 110 and 130 region.
Another method to identify proton-rich isotopes at or near the proton
dripline is to tag on the characteristic proton (or alpha) radioactivity.
This Recoil Decay Tagging approach is routinely carried out at
the Jyväskylä Cyclotron Facility in Finland.
Finally, exotic proton-rich nuclei can be produced using proton-rich
radioactive ion beams. Such facilities include Ganil (France), Cern
(Switzerland) and Oak Ridge (USA).
