Abstract

The half-lives of $2^+_1$ states were measured for $^{102,104}$Zr and $^{106,108}$Mo to test a new implementation of a LaBr$_3$(Ce) array at the RIBF, RIKEN, Japan. The nuclei of interest were produced through the fission of a 345~MeV/nucleon $^{238}$U beam and selected by the BigRIPS separator. Fission fragments were implanted into the WAS3ABi active stopper, surrounding which, 18 LaBr$_3$(Ce) detectors provided fast $\gamma$-ray detection. Timing between the LaBr$_3$(Ce) array and plastic scintillators allowed for the measurement of half-lives of low-lying states. The preliminary results, which agree with literature values, are presented along with experimental details.
