An analysis of the capabilities of AGATA for in-beam $$\gamma $$ γ -ray spectroscopy at relativistic energies is presented. AGATA’s ability to determine the position of $$\gamma $$ γ -ray interaction points in the Germanium crystal provides the crucial ingredient for attaining high $$\gamma $$ γ -ray energy resolution when the emitting nucleus is traveling at more than half the speed of light. This is the typical velocity of exotic nuclei exiting the SuperFRS spectrometer at the future FAIR facility, where AGATA will be deployed as part of the high-resolution in-beam spectroscopy project, HISPEC. A discussion of different experimental techniques using AGATA under these conditions is presented, including analysis of the different Doppler-based methods for lifetime determination. The properties of the key reaction mechanisms expected to be applied for in-beam $$\gamma $$ γ -ray spectroscopy at FAIR are discussed, along with the aspects of those reactions that can be exploited by the advanced capabilities of the AGATA array.

“…The synthesis of unknown heavy nuclei has been spotlighted for last decades with the development of new facilities for rare isotope accelerators [1][2][3]. In particular, the structure of neutron-rich heavy nuclei is expected to shed light on our understanding of nuclear structure in isospin asymmetric nuclear matter and it will give insight on the structure of neutron stars and the process of nuclear synthesis during the evolution of stars [4].…”

Nuclear energy density functional and the nuclear α decay

The nuclear α decay of heavy nuclei is investigated based on the nuclear energy density functional, which leads to the α potential inside the parent nucleus in terms of the proton and neutron density profiles of the daughter nucleus. We use the Skyrme force model, Gogny force model, and relativistic mean field model to get the nucleon density profiles inside heavy nuclei. Once the nucleon density profiles are determined, the parameters of the nuclear α potential are fitted to the observed α decay half-lives of heavy nuclei. This approach is then applied to predict unknown α decay half-lives of heavy nuclei. To estimate the Q values of unobserved α decays, we make use of the liquid droplet model.
