A very challenging task in nuclear structure physics is the study of the nuclei at the N=Z line. The investigation of odd-odd N=Z nuclei should give an insight into the role of the T=0 and T=1 pairing interaction and especially into the dependence of its strength on excitation energy, angular momentum and deformation.
In the N=Z=35 nucleus ⁷⁰Br no excited states are known so far. To search for excited states in this nucleus we have performed an experiment at the MP Tandem accelerator of the MPI Heidelberg using the ⁵⁸Ni(¹⁶O,p3n) reaction at 95 MeV beam energy. The target consisted of a 5 mg/cm² thick ⁵⁸Ni foil. Coincidences of γ rays, neutrons and charged particles have been measured using the Rossendorf EUROBALL Cluster detector, 3 individual HPGe detectors, the particle detector ball RoSiB with 40 Si detectors and a reduced version of the EUROBALL neutron wall including 20 liquid scintillators.
Experimental techniques which provide the channel selectivity will be discussed and preliminary results will be presented.
