Heavy Element Spectroscopy At JYFL

A series of experiments to study the properties of transfermium nuclei have been performed at the Department of Physics of the University of Jyvaskyla. The experiments are carried out by a large group of collaborating institutes. These studies have been rendered possible by the coupling of various state‐of‐the‐art detector systems to the RITU gas‐filled recoil separator. In‐beam conversion‐electron and gamma‐ray measurements have been made using the SACRED silicon and JuroGam germanium‐detector arrays, respectively. The introduction of the GREAT spectrometer and TDR data acquisition system have greatly improved the quality of the data obtained at RITU. A brief overview of the instrumentation used and highlights from recent experiments are presented.
