Identification of the doubly-magic nucleus 100Sn in the reaction 112Sn+natNi at 63 MeV/nucleon

Abstract We report on the production of the doubly-magic nucleus 100 Sn and other proton-rich nuclei in the A ∼ 100 region in the reaction 112 Sn + nat Ni at 63 MeV/nucleon. The experiment was carried out using the high acceptance device SISSI and the Alpha and LISE3 spectrometers at GANIL. The identification of the reaction products ( A , Z and Q ) was made using the measurements of time-of-flight, energy-loss and kinetic energy.
