Abstract

The Active Target Time Projection Chamber (AT-TPC) has been used in experiments aimed at the exploration of structural effects in radioactive nuclei using one step reactions such as one- or two-nucleon transfer or resonant scattering. The high luminosity of this type of detector allows to perform this type of measurement in inverse kinematics with much reduced beam intensities, while preserving a good resolution, hence extending the reach towards the most rare isotopes. This presentation will feature recent results obtained on several reaction channels observed between various radioactive beams and pure proton, deuteron and helium targets. The methodology used to analyze the complex data recorded by the AT-TPC will be presented, as well as its performance in extracting the physical quantities of interest for structure studies of nuclei far from stability.
