Abstract

A new plunger device has been designed and is being built at the University of
Manchester to measure lifetimes of unbound states in exotic nuclei approaching the proton dripline. The device is designed to work in both vacuum and gas environments and will be used in conjunction with the gas filled separator RITU and the vacuum-mode separator MARA at the University of Jyv¨askyl¨a, Finland. This will enable the accurate measurement of excited state lifetimes identified via isomer and charged-particle tagging. The plunger will be used to address many key facets of nuclear structure physics with particular emphasis on the effect of deformation on proton emission rates
