“…The EXOGAM detector array has been mainly used in two configurations, one which maximizes the efficiency for the EXOGAM array (figure 5) and another where the peak-to-total ratio is enhanced with the use of the full Compton suppression to increase sensitivity. An improvement in the position resolution, presently limited by the size of the electrical segment of the crystals, was obtained using a pulse-shape analysis technique [19]. EXOGAM uses the VXI bus standard developed for the EUROGAM and EUROBALL arrays to operate at high rates [20].…”

“…Preliminary results from this work suggest that the 7/2 − state is located 330 ± 80 keV above the neutron-decay threshold (E x = 1.74 ± 0.08 MeV) [35]. 19 O produced by the (d,t) reaction. These preliminary results are from [36,37].…”

“…These alternative paths can be calculated using the properties of the intermediate unbound nuclei (e.g. 16 F and 19 Na). Calculated reaction rates for two-proton capture were found to be significant only for astrophysical environments at very high densities.…”

“…Hence an experimental program was started with the objective to measure these properties with a high-energy resolution, and dedicated techniques to perform resonant elastic scattering were developed. These were first applied to measure the properties of the low-lying states in 19 Na and 16 F. As mentioned earlier, the beam energies provided by SPIRAL are ideal for transfer reactions (section 3). The (d,p) transfer reaction has been used to determine the important observables (Q values, excitation energy and SF) required to determine the (n,γ ) radiative capture rate in the case of 46 Ar.…”

“…The focus of the first experiment made at the SPIRAL facility was the characterization of 19 Na through a measurement of the excitation function for the H( 18 Ne, p) 18 Ne reaction [120,121]. A beam of 18 Ne 4+ at 7.2 MeV/u and a purity of about 80% (20% 18 O and <1 % of 18 F) was purified using a stripper foil at the entrance of the LISE spectrometer.…”

The SPIRAL facility at GANIL, operational since 2001, is described briefly. The diverse physics program using the re-accelerated (1.2 to 25 MeV/u) beams ranging from He to Kr and the instrumentation specially developed for their exploitation are presented. Results of these studies, using both direct and compound processes, addressing various questions related to the existence of exotic states of nuclear matter, evolution of new "magic numbers", tunnelling of exotic nuclei, neutron correlations, exotic pathways in astrophysical sites and characterization of the continuum are discussed. The future prospects for the facility and the path towards SPIRAL2, a next generation ISOL facility, are also briefly presented. ‡ Present address: CEA-Saclay,
