Abstract
Isochronous mass spectrometry was applied to measure isomeric yield ratios of fragmentation reaction products. This approach is complementary to conventional -ray spectroscopy in particular for measuring yield ratios for long-lived isomeric states. Isomeric yield ratios for the high-spin states in the mirror nuclei and are measured to study angular momentum population following the projectile fragmentation of at energies of MeV on a beryllium target. The 19/2 state isomeric ratios of produced from different projectiles in the literature have also been extracted as a function of mass number difference between projectile and fragment (mass loss). The results are compared to abrabla07 model calculations. The isomeric ratios of produced using different projectiles suggest that the theory underestimates not only the previously reported dependence on the spin but also the dependence on the mass loss.
