[en] The availability of the last generation of heavy ion accelerators and their sophisticated equipments opens new ways to produce and study Radioactive Nuclear Beams (RNBs). In particular, secondary beams of nuclei in an isomeric state can be produced. Such isomeric beams are of great interest in order to investigate the nuclear structure of nuclei in an excited state. We have produced a pure isomeric beam of 42 Scm at GANIL with the 12 C(40 Ca, 42 Scm)10 B transfer reaction at 30 MeV/A. The secondary beam has been separated with the LISE3 on line spectrometer. We will present results obtained with the same isomer by other transfer reactions and by fragmentation at GANIL (Caen). A total reaction cross section measurement using an isomeric beam has been performed at GANIL in December 1995. The method used as well as preliminary results will be discussed.(author)
