Two-proton knockout on neutron-rich nuclei
نویسندگان
چکیده
Two-proton knockout reactions on neutron-rich nuclei [1] have been studied in inverse kinematics at intermediate energy. Strong evidence that the two-proton removal from a neutron-rich system proceeds as a direct reaction is presented, together with a preliminary theoretical discussion of the partial cross sections based on eikonal reaction theory and the many-body shell model. They show that this reaction can be used to characterize the wave functions of the projectiles and holds great promise for the study of neutron-rich nuclei.

Experimental Studies of Unbound Neutron-rich Nuclei
The three-body description of two-neutron halo nuclei relies on the two-body interactions between the constituents. In order to provide constraints on calculations devoted to 14 Be and 17 B, the neutron unbound states of 13 Be and 16 B have been investigated by one-proton knockout. The experimental techniques and results are discussed here.
متن کاملNew direct reaction: two-proton knockout from neutron-rich nuclei.
The reaction 9Be(28Mg,26Ne+gamma)X has been studied at 82 MeV/nucleon together with two similar cases, 30Mg and 34Si. Strong evidence that the reactions are direct is offered by the parallel-momentum distributions of the reaction residues and by the inclusive cross sections. The pattern of the partial cross sections for 28Mg suggests the presence of correlations. A preliminary theoretical discu...
متن کاملDiffraction dissociation contributions to two-nucleon knockout reactions and the suppression of shell-model strength
The contributions to the cross sections of intermediate energy two-nucleon knockout reactions from events in which one nucleon is removed by the stripping (inelastic breakup) mechanism and a second by the diffraction (elastic breakup) mechanism are discussed. The small additional contributions from two-nucleon diffraction events are also estimated. The approach used combines the eikonal reactio...
متن کاملFragmentation of very neutron - rich projectiles around 132 Sn
We propose an experiment to isotopically identify and determine the production cross sections of residual nuclei in the fragmentation of very neutron-rich nuclei around Sn produced in the fission of relativistic U primary projectiles. These measurements will provide valuable information about a possible two-step reaction scheme (fission-fragmentation) to optimise the production of extremely neu...
متن کاملMasses and Deformations of Neutron-rich Nuclei
We have calculated the masses, deformations, and other properties of 8979 nuclei ranging from O to 136 and extending from the proton drip line to the neutron drip line on the basis of the 1992 version of the finite-range droplet model. The predicted quantities include the ground-state mass, deformation, microscopic correction, odd-proton and odd-neutron spins and parities, proton and neutron pa...
