The measurements of the surprisingly large cross sections for 199Au, coupled with the integral cross sections for the various Au residues, is used to obtain the first model-independent lower limits on the ratio of 2n to 1n transfer cross sections from 8He to a heavy target. A comparison of the transfer cross sections for 6,8He on these targets highlights the differences in the interactions of these Borromean nuclei. These measurements for the most neutron-rich nuclei on different targets highlight the need to probe the reaction mechanism with various targets and represent an experimental advance towards understanding specific features of pairing in the dynamics of dilute nuclear systems.

Introduction Atomic nuclei are made of two distinct particles, the protons and the neutrons. These nucleons constitute more than 99.95% of the mass of an atom. In order to form a stable atomic nucleus, a subtle equilibrium between the number of protons and neutrons has to be respected. This condition is fulfilled for 259 different combinations of protons and neutrons. These nuclei can be found on Earth. In addition, 26 nuclei form a quasi stable configuration, i.e. they decay with a half-life comparable or longer than the age of the Earth and are therefore still present on Earth.

Hussein Instituto de F´ısica, Universidade de S˜ao Paulo, C.P. 66318, CEP 05315-970 S˜ao Paulo, Brasil (Dated: October 22, 2018) We exploit the possibility of new configurations in three-body halo nuclei - Samba type - (the neutron-core form a bound system) as a doorway to Borromean systems. The nuclei 12Be, 15B, 23N and 27F are of such nature, in particular 23N with a half-life of 37.7 s and a halo radius of 6.07 fm is an excellent example of Samba-halo configuration. The fusion below the barrier of the Samba halo nuclei with heavy targets could reveal the so far elusive enhancement and a dominance of one-neutron over two-neutron transfers, in contrast to what was found recently for the Borromean halo nucleus 6He + 238U.

    Experimental Study of Intruder Components in Light Neutron-rich Nuclei via Single-nucleon Transfer Reaction∗ Liu Wei,1 Lou Jianling,1, y Ye Yanlin,1 and Pang Danyang2 1School of Physics and State Key Laboratory of Nuclear Physics and Technology, Peking University, Beijing 100871, China 2School of Physics, Beijing Key Laboratory of Advanced Nuclear Materials and Physics, Beihang University, Beijing 100191, China With the development of radioactive beam facilities, study on the shell evolution in unstable nuclei has become a hot topic. The intruder components, especially s-wave intrusion, in the low-lying states of light neutron-rich nuclei near N = 8 are of particular importance for the study of shell evolution. Single-nucleon transfer reaction in inverse kinematics has been a sensitive tool to quantitatively investigate the single-particle- orbital component in the selectively populated states. The spin-parity, the spectroscopic factor (or single-particle strength), as well as the effective single-particle energy can be extracted from this kind of reaction. These ob- servables are often useful to explain the nature of shell evolution, and to constrain, check and test parameters used in nuclear structure models. In this article, we review the experimental studies of the intruder components in neutron-rich He, Li, Be, B, C isotopes by using various single-nucleon transfer reactions. Focus will be laid on the precise determination of the intruder s-wave strength in low-lying states. Keywords: single-nucleon transfer reaction, intruder component, light neutron-rich nuclei I.

Horiuchi 3, Jagjit Singh 4 & A. Vitturi1,2 1234567890():,; The exotic, neutron-rich and weakly-bound isotope 29F stands out as a waymarker on the southern shore of the island of inversion, a portion of the nuclear chart where the effects of nuclear forces lead to a reshuffling of the single particle levels and to a reorganization of the nuclear structure far from stability. This nucleus has become very popular, as new measurements allow to refine theoretical models. We review the latest developments and suggest how to further assess the structure by proposing predictions on electromagnetic transitions that new experiments of Relativistic Coulomb Excitation should soon become able to measure. eakly bound nuclear systems severely test our ability to disentangle the mysteries and oddities of the nuclear interactions and how nuclear systems achieve stability. One of W fl the latest conundrums in this respect is the structure of the exotic 29- uorine isotope. With nine protons and 20 neutrons, it is located almost on the edge of the stability valley of the = nuclide chart, very close to the neutron drip-line, i.e., the dividing line (Sn 0, null separation energy) between bound and unbound neutron-rich nuclei. Pioneering researches on this isotope have recently skyrocketed, as more and more theoretical and experimental papers are being published. The main interest lies in understanding if it belongs to the so-called island of inversion, a portion of the nuclear chart where the standard list of single-particle energy levels (that are filled by nucleons, very similarly to the atomic physics counterpart, in a sort of Aufbauprinzip, a.k.a.

The merit of studying the continuum was realized early in nuclear theory however the challenges still remind tremendous. This broad topic offers many potential new discoveries related to shell evolutions, clustering or halo formation and their medium dependence, evolution of pairing and nuclear superfluidity at the drip line, with connections spanning from others open quantum systems and universality of few-body systems to nuclear astrophysics, of which large swathes largely unknown. Introduction The mean field concept, which describes the atomic nucleus in terms of single nucleons moving in an average potential, augmented by two-body or three-body residual interactions, is a very successful tool to describe shell structure and shell evolutions along the chart of nuclei.

  • Investigation of the Unbound 21C Nucleus Via Transfer Reaction
    EPJ Web of Conferences 66, 03031 (2014) DOI: 10.1051/epjconf/2014 6603031 C Owned by the authors, published by EDP Sciences, 2014 Investigation of the unbound 21C nucleus via transfer reaction Tokuro Fukuia and Kazuyuki Ogata 1Research Center for Nuclear Physics, Osaka University, Osaka 567-0047, Japan Abstract. The cross section of the transfer reaction 20C(d,p)21C at 30.0 MeV is investi- gated. The continuum-discretized coupled-channels method (CDCC) is used in order to obtain the final state wave function. The smoothing procedure of the transition matrix and the channel-coupling effect on the cross section are discussed. 1 Introduction Interpretation of the properties of unbound nuclei which populate beyond the drip-line or as exited states of unstable nuclei, is one of the most important subjects in nuclear physics. This will be helpful to determine the drip-line in the nuclear chart. Very recently, for example, evidence for an unbound ground state of 26O was reported [1] which could extend the definition of the region for the existence of nuclei to the unbound state region. Unbound nuclei can exist as a product of a nuclear reaction because of their very short life-time compared with that of usual unstable nuclei. Reaction studies are thus important to investigate the properties of unbound nuclei. In this study we focus on 21C and aim to elucidate a resonance structure and roles of the non- resonant continuum states. Clarification of 21C properties will lead us to deeper understanding of 22C, the neutron drip-line nucleus of carbon isotopes, which contains n-20C subsystems.

Re-accelerated radioactive ions beams of 8He from the SPIRAL facility at GANIL have been used to perform the first experimental investigations at energies around the Coulomb barrier of fusion and direct reactions with the most neutron rich 8He. Two experiments (in the 8He+65Cu and 8He+197Au systems) have been performed, using the complementarity of in-beam and off-beam techniques, to measure integral and differential cross sections for elastic scattering, fusion and neu- tron(s) transfer. These results, compared with Coupled Reaction Channels calculations as well as phenomenological approaches allowed to probe and understand the different facets of the interplay between the intrinsic structure of 8He and reaction mechanisms. 1 Introduction study of the relative importance of 1n and 2n transfer [6,7]. Recent advances in accelerator and isotope-production In this talk we present the first investigations of technology, like the Isotope Separation On-Line (ISOL) reaction mechanisms at energies around the Coulomb technique, provides new opportunities to study and barrier involving the 8He nucleus. The heaviest He- understand reactions involving rare short-lived isotopes lium isotope, with the largest neutron/proton ratio [1{4]. These nuclei far from the β-stability line, char- (3/1) of known bound nuclei and a lifetime of only acterised by small binding energies and unusual ratio 0.12 s, is a weakly-bound nucleus (S2n = 2:1 MeV) ex- of neutron to proton numbers, have a variety of novel hibiting an neutron halo/skin and a Borromean struc- properties like extended and therefore diluted mat- ture.
