Research highlights from the Holifield Heavy Ion Research Facility
The purpose of this paper is to present the scope of research carried out at the new Holifield Heavy Ion Research Facility (HHIRF) at Oak Ridge. This will be accomplished with reference to several research projects currently underway. The areas of research represented are microscopic and macroscopic aspects of nuclear reactions and nuclear structure. In view of the scope of this conference, emphasis will be placed on nuclear reactions. A brief description of HHIRF is given, together with its current status. Microscopic aspects of reactions between nuclei are discussed with reference to the prospects for the study of giant resonances by means of heavy ions, and to studies of elastic and inelastic scattering of /sup 60/Ni nuclei. Macroscopic aspects of nuclear reactions are illustrated by means of the study of collisions between /sup 58/Ni nuclei at 15.1 MeV/u and by means of Spin Spectrometer (crystal ball) studies of the /sup 19/F + /sup 159/Tb reaction. Results are presented for lifetime measurements of high-spin states in ytterbium nuclei. (WHK)
