Motivation New n-rich superheavy isotopes 1. Access long lifetimes 2. Fill in the n-rich gaps 3. Extended studies of N=162 4. New mass measurements? 5. Understand how to approach N=184? TAMU SHE 2015 Slide 3

Motivation Has always has been intriguing to consider the use of n-rich RIBs for SHE synthesis. What has been done, experimentally, so far? TAMU SHE 2015 Slide 4

Fusion with RIBs - Enhancement/hindrance due to halo and weakly bound nuclei - Astrophysics Light Nuclei: 6,8 He, 9,11 Li, 10,11 Be, 8 B, 10,11,14,15 C, 17 F, 20 O TAMU SHE 2015 Slide 5

Fusion with RIBs - Extreme neutron excess - Sub-barrier transfer couplings - Hindrance with n-rich RIBs HRIBF: 132,128,126 Sn + 58,56 Ni 132 Sn + 40,48 Ca 132 Sn + 96 Zr 132 Sn + 100 Mo 134 Te + 40 Ca Light Nuclei: 6,8 He, 9,11 Li, 10,11 Be, 8 B, 10,11,14,15 C, 17 F, 20 O TAMU SHE 2015 Slide 6

Fusion with RIBs Light Nuclei: 6,8 He, 9,11 Li, 10,11 Be, 8 B, 10,11,14,15 C, 17 F, 20 O Fast beams 38 S + 181 Ta, 208 Pb (NSCL) 29,31 Al + 197 Au (RIKEN) SHE relevant hot and cold fusion reactions require medium-mass RIBs. HRIBF: 132,128,126 Sn + 58,56 Ni 132 Sn + 40,48 Ca 132 Sn + 96 Zr 132 Sn + 100 Mo 134 Te + 40 Ca TAMU SHE 2015 Slide 7

Motivation Q: What has been done, experimentally, so far? A: Not much 3 RIB experiments under difficult conditions Q:Why? A: (Opinion) Very few facilities with medium-mass RIBs at appropriate energies. TAMU SHE 2015 Slide 8

Where can we study SHE synthesis with RIBs? Facilities currently offer low-energy RIBs: ISAC-TRIUMF, SPIRAL, HIE-ISOLDE, CARIBU-ARIES-ANL,, HRIBF NSCL has been a fast fragmentation facility (RIBs @ 50-150 MeV/u) Projectile Fragmentation We want those same RIBs at lower energies (from thermal to Coulomb barrier) for studying nuclear reactions, structure, and astrophysics. ReA3 represents a new concept of stopping and re-accelerating fast fragmentation beams. TAMU SHE 2015 Slide 9

ReA @ NSCL RIBs with stable beam characteristics 3 EBIT Charge Breeder 4 ReA experimental area 2 gas stopping area 1. Produce RIB at NSCL 2. Thermalize beam in gas stopper 3. Charge breed isotope 4. Re-accelerate TAMU SHE 2015 Slide 10 1

MeV/u ReA @ NSCL Technique provides any beam that can be produced by projectile fragmentation Chemistry independent (compared to ISOL) Short development time for new beams. NSCL PAC38 accepted proposals at ReA3 NSCL PAC39 reviewing new proposals for ReA3 Beams include 47-37 K, 46-34 Ar, 40-30 S TAMU SHE 2015 Slide 11

ReA @ NSCL Beam Intensities Current Facility: NSCL + ReA 10 4-10 5 pps near stability Example: 39-41 K stable, 37 K 8e3 pps, 46 K 5e4 pps, 47 K 3e4 pps Future Facility: FRIB + ReA Fast beam rates 1e12 pps 1e10 pps TAMU SHE 2015 Slide 12

Big Picture for ReA Applicability of RIBs for SHE production: - Will new SHEs be produced at NSCL/ReA3? No - Will new SHEs be produced at FRIB/ReA? VERY unlikely - Can new isotopes of SHE s be produced at FRIB/ReA? Possibly What can we do NOW at NSCL/ReA? Study SHE reaction mechanism using neutron- and proton-rich RIBs TAMU SHE 2015 Slide 13

Goals: Define the most promising experiments at FRIB for production of new neutron-rich isotopes of SHEs. Understand how or if the fusion process is modified with the use of neutron-rich RIBs. MCP beam PPACS Silicon monitors TAMU SHE 2015 Slide 14
