HIE-ISOLDE II
- Peter Reiter (University Cologne, Nuclear Physics Institut)
Transfer reactions are often used to infer structure information of nuclei. In particular, the new ISS at ISOLDE provides an excellent experimental setup to measure (d,p) reactions with exotic beams. To properly analyse measurements, its is important to have a good understanding of the reaction process and to which structure observable the transfer reaction is sensitive. In this short talk, I...
The ISOLDE Solenoidal Spectrometer specialises in the study of transfer reactions in inverse kinematics, using the solenoid spectrometer technique pioneered at Argonne National Laboratory [1]. It was fully commissioned in 2021 with a new silicon array, and has since undergone three successful physics campaigns focusing on measurements of the $(d,p)$ reaction to probe single-neutron properties...
Single-particle structure has been observed to evolve away from the valley of beta-stability. In exotic nuclei, the ordering and separation between energy levels vary to the extent that nuclear magic numbers change. For example, in the neutron-rich region with Z = 8-20, the N = 20 shell closure weakens, and a new shell closure emerges at N = 16 in $^{24}$O [1]. The behaviour of the...
The available data on $^{12}$Be are ambiguous and limited despite numerous attempts via direct and indirect reactions. For the three previous (d,p) reactions[1-3], their reaction energies and angular coverage were not optimized so the data could not be easily interpreted in terms of well-tested reaction mechanisms. For another, these measurements provided limited information on the unbound...
