Decay studies in the A ∼ 225 Po-Fr region from the DESPEC campaign at GSI in 2021

Summary, in English

The HISPEC-DESPEC collaboration aims at investigating the structure of exotic nuclei formed in fragmentation reactions with decay spectroscopy measurements, as part of the FAIR Phase-0 campaign at GSI. This paper reports on first results of an experiment performed in spring 2021, with a focus on β-decay studies in the Po-Fr nuclei in the 220 < A < 230 island of octupole deformation exploiting the DESPEC setup. Ion-beta correlations and fast-timing techniques are being employed, giving an insight into this difficult-to-reach region. © 2022 Societa Italiana di Fisica. All rights reserved.
