1 Fission Yields Measurements at IGISOL-4 " H. Penttilä, for the IGISOL group & collaborations!

2 Short recall: fission ion guide technique" Based on survival of primary ions from nuclear reaction in helium buffer gas! Fast extraction of ions is required to prevent neutralisation! Charge state concentration: (0), +1, (+2)! Ion formation independent of chemistry " Produces ions of any element! Millisecond time scale!!very small decay losses! All ions come directly from fission" Ion rate corresponds to the independent fission yield -! no*) accumulation effects! No gaps in the systematic studies! Study the most neutron rich nuclei produced in the fission (isobaric background usually sets the limit)! " Target! Extractor SPIG electrode! Beam!

3 Fission yields with a Penning trap" Rh Reference spectrum 114 Pd 114 Ag 115 Pd A = 114 A = 115 Based on unambiguous identification of isotopes by their mass only.!! - No further knowledge on e.g. decay is needed! - Fast! - Yield of long-lived and stable isotopes can be determined! Ag Rh Cd Rh 116 Pd 116 Ag A = Fit results for Pd χ 2 = <A> = ± 0.07 W = 2.81 ± x Eur. Phys. J. Special Topics 150 (2007) 317! Nucl. Instr. and Meth. A 576 (2007) 371! Eur. Phys. J. A 44 (2010) 140!
