Abstract
A Coulomb excitation experiment has been performed in order to study the subshell closure atN = 40 for neutron-rich nuclei. This subshell effect is thought to be enhanced when largeN/Z ratios are encountered. Therefore, theZ = 2868Ni is of particular interest in order to test this behaviour. Some experimental information is already available for68Ni at low excitation energy: a 0+ 2 isomer, a 2+ state and a long-lived 5- state. The high energy of the 2+ state suggests the shell closure though its reduced transition probabilityB(E2) has never been mesured. The nuclei68Ni,70,72Zn,76Ge have been produced in the fragmentation of a86Kr beam at 60 MeV/A. The selection of these secondary beams has been performed by LISE3 spectrometer at GANIL. Performances of the detector system “Château de Cristal” and preliminary results on reduced transition probabilitiesB(E2) are presented and discussed.
