Abstract
Magnetic moment measurements of isomeric states in neutron-rich isotopes populated in photofission using γ-beam facility at the Extreme Light Infrastructure−Nuclear Physics (ELI-NP) laboratory aim at addressing many open questions related to the structure of the nuclei in A around 100 and 130 mass regions. The possibility of such measurements at ELI-NP is briefly discussed here using Geant4 Monte Carlo simulations. The present paper report the estimates of γ-beam profile at the target, fission fragment production rates and the possible target geometry.
