Coulomb excitation of neutron-rich 138,140,142Xe at REX-ISOLDE

We report on “safe” Coulomb excitation of neutron-rich 138,140,142Xe nuclei. The radioactive nuclei have been produced by ISOLDE at CERN and post-accelerated by the REX-ISOLDE facility. The γ-rays emitted by the decay of excited states have been detected by the MINIBALL array. Recent results are presented.
