Spectroscopy of Transfermium Nuclei

The advent of efficient recoil separator devices coupled to large arrays of germanium detectors and versatile focal plane detection systems has in recent years allowed a wealth of spectroscopic information to be obtained for transfermium nuclei. At the Department of Physics at the University of Jyvaeskylae, the RITU gas-filled separator is employed in conjunction with the GREAT focal plane spectrometer and the JUROGAM array of germanium detectors. Whilst initial studies using these devices concentrated on even-even nuclei, more recent experiments have attempted to study single-particle properties by examining the structure of odd-mass nuclei and multi-quasiparticle states. An overview of the instrumentation used and highlights from the recent experimental campaigns is presented.
