The $$\gamma$$ γ -ray strength function ( $$\gamma$$ γ SF) and nuclear level density (NLD) have been extracted for the first time from inverse kinematic reactions with the Oslo method. This novel technique allows measurements of these properties across a wide range of previously inaccessible nuclei. Proton– $$\gamma$$ γ coincidence events from the $$\mathrm {d}(^{86}\mathrm {Kr}, \mathrm {p}\gamma )^{87}\mathrm {Kr}$$ d ( 86 Kr , p γ ) 87 Kr reaction were measured at iThemba LABS and the… Expand
