Gamma-ray spectroscopy with rare-isotope beams at TRIUMF-ISAC

The GRIFFIN and TIGRESS spectrometers at TRIUMF-ISAC provide unique opportunities in decay and reaction studies with rare-isotope beams. These HPGe arrays of 16 Compton-suppressed clovers each are complimented with powerful suites of ancillary detector sub-systems for coincidence measurements and channel selection. Complimentary studies can be performed to investigate nuclear structure, nuclear astrophysics and perform tests of fundamental symmetries. An overview of the capabilities of the facilities will be given, along with a discussion of recent results with a focused on tests of ab initio theories in light nuclei and shape coexistence phenomena.
