Application of the PFIS method to the Lise spectrometer at GANIL: beta decay of light neutron rich exotic nuclei

Radioactive studies of light neutron rich exotic nuclei have been performed on the LISE line at GANIL. These isotopes were produced via projectile nuclear fragmentation of 60 MeV/nucleon 40Ar on Be. Physical separation of the nucleides was achieved through the Projectile Fragment Isotopic Separation (PFIS) method (magnetic analysis and differential stopping power effects). At least 8 nuclei were observed for the first time through β-γ coincidence measurements (40S, 38P, 37P, 36Si, 35Si, 24F, 22O) as well as already known half-lives to provide a check of the procedure (36P, 30Mg, 32Al)
