Results of the latest EXL campaign — •Mirko von Schmid for the EXL E105 collaboration — Institut für Kernphysik, TU Darmstadt

EXL (EXotic nuclei studied in Light-ion induced reactions at storage rings) is a project within NUSTAR at FAIR. It aims for the investigation of light-ion induced direct reactions in inverse kinematics with radioactive ions in storage rings at the future FAIR facility.

The existing ESR at GSI, together with its internal gas-jet target, provides the unique opportunity to perform this kind of experiments on a smaller scale already today. With a detector setup developed specifically for this experiment, we successfully investigated nuclear reactions with a stored radioactive beam for the very first time. As a part of the first EXL campaign we investigated the reaction ⁵⁶Ni(p, p)⁵⁶Ni in order to measure the differential cross section for elastic proton scattering and deduce the nuclear matter distribution and the radius of ⁵⁶Ni. Furthermore, as a feasibility study, we excited the GMR of ⁵⁸Ni by utilizing the ⁵⁸Ni(α, α’)⁵⁸Ni reaction.

The results of this campaign and the current status of the project will be presented in this contribution.
