Prototypical experiments: Proton-rich nuclei reaction studies with inverse kinematics

Several prototypical experiments are described which exploit single- and two-nucleon transfer as well as charge-exchange reactions - all in inverse kinematics - to study nuclear spectroscopy. The examples chosen relate to the N∼Z nuclei with 56 ≤ A ≤ 100 and to the study of superallowed β decay, but the potential usefulness of these reactions extends far beyond. It is concluded, however, that this rich potential can only be tapped at a future radioactive-beam facility if the beam energies reach at least 25 MeV/u and preferably 50 MeV/u
