New neutron-rich isotopes expected to be observed by the fragmentation of 198^Pt at HIAF.

Caption

With an optimized target thickness, fragmentation of 198Pt could lead to the discovery of about 30 new isotopes in the rare-earth region at HIRIBL, thereby providing a strong opportunity for studies in both nuclear physics and nuclear astrophysics at HIAF.
