Superallowed Gamow–Teller decay of the doubly magic nucleus 100Sn
Podolyak took a leading role in the preparation of the fragment separator settings. These settings allow the selection of the nuclei of interest, while suppressing the non-interesting isotopes, therefore they are vital for experiments studying nuclei with low production yield. Additionally, the near off-line analysis of the experiment was performed using the sorting software developed at Surrey, which was essential for success as it allowed fast optimisation of the setting during the run. More generally, Podolyak’s experience in both fragmentation (FRS setting) and gamma spectroscopy was important in the success of the experiment and analysis and interpretation of the results.
