Production of neutron-rich isotopes by fragmentation of 80 MeV/nucleon ⁵⁹Co beam

Using a primary beam of ⁵⁹Co at 80 MeV/nucleon impinging on a berilium target, production cross-sections of neutron-rich fragments from projectile fragmentation have been measured at the Projectile Fragment Separator RIPS at the Institute of Physical and Chemical Research ( RIKEN - Japan ). The experimental production cross-sections ranging from Na to Ti for isotopes close to stability as well as for fragments at the neutron drip-line are compared to the results of the empirical parametrization EPAX.
