What is LISA? Light Ion Spectrometer Array Array of silicon detectors Design based on TIARA -Si array for transfer reactions at GANIL Designed to detect charged particles at the target position of the Jyvaskyla JUROGAM-RITU-GREAT apparatus

Why use LISA?...but it has its limitations Decay by proton emission – too fast for standard RDT Use LISA to detect fast proton decays ToF > 0.5 s Recoil-decay tagging has proven to be extremely successful...

Why use LISA? Detection of prompt charged particles emitted from deformed high-lying states Rudolph et al., PRL 80 (1998) 3018 Also as a veto to select weak xn evaporation channels following fusion-evaporation reactions

LISA: a few details Novel target changing mechanism: two rotating targets, an alpha source and quartz glower Two octagonal Si barrels and two Si annular detectors: ≈ 80% of 4 Molybdenum foils to shield from scattered heavy-ions

Commissioning experiment @ JYFL November 2009 58 Ni (300 MeV) + 106 Cd -> 164 Os * LISA – JUROGAM II – RITU – GREAT Limited electronics set-up: two inner barrel detectors, two outer barrel detectors and one annular detector
15
Results of commissioning Simulation
16
Future of LISA Plan to repeat 58 Ni + 106 Cd commissioning measurement with full array –study 159 Re (p4n) Other intertesting cases include 169 Au
17
Future of LISA Identify candidates for prompt proton emission outside of Z~28, N~28 –Possibly neutron-deficient Te isotopes? Use in “double- -tagging” (D.G. Jenkins et al. proposal to JYFL) –Si detectors replaced with plastic scintillator to provide larger coverage –Study astrophysically important nuclei beyond N=Z line ( 66 Se) Any other ideas?
