Abstract:

A recent experiment using projectile fragmentation of a Au197 beam on a Be9 target, combined with the fragment recoil separator and experimental storage ring at ring at GSI, has uncovered an isomeric state in Re192 at 26710 keV with a half-life of 60 s. The data analysis technique used to resolve the isomeric state from the ground state is discussed.
