1 Recent Experimental Results from HELIOS A new approach to reactions in inverse kinematics A. H. Wuosmaa Western Michigan University

2 Why still study nucleon transfer? Renewed emphasis on transfer reactions with RIBS: – Properties of nuclei far from stability, esp. near “closed” shells (spins, parities, spectroscopic factors, s.p. energies, residual interactions) – Importance of the tensor interaction – Test/tune new shell-model interactions Broader applications: – e.g. astrophysics, stewardship (“surrogates” for capture reactions) Life is much more difficult with inverse kinematics and radioactive beams
