Performed by A. Keksis, As of this writing systematic measurements with stable beams of 40Ca, 40Ar and 48Ca at 32 and 45 MeV/u are underway. Then using the Superconducting Solenoid Rare Isotope Beam Line [8] rare ion beams such as 40Sc, 40Cl and possibly 40S will be produced and identified with TOF techniques. Rare ion beams allow for greater isospin asymmetric nuclei to be studied, which is one area that is of great interest since a plethora of beams will be available when RIA, the Rare Isotope Accelerator, comes online early next decade.
