Photoneutron cross sections for unstable neutron-rich oxygen isotopes.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The dipole response of stable and unstable neutron-rich oxygen nuclei of masses A = 17 to A = 22 has been investigated experimentally utilizing electromagnetic excitation in heavy-ion collisions at beam energies about 600 MeV/nucleon. A kinematically complete measurement of the neutron decay channel in inelastic scattering of the secondary beam projectiles from a Pb target was performed. Differential electromagnetic excitation cross sections d sigma/dE were derived up to 30 MeV excitation energy. In contrast to stable nuclei, the deduced dipole strength distribution appears to be strongly fragmented and systematically exhibits a considerable fraction of low-lying strength.

Neutron capture measurements at a RIA - type facility
Neutron capture cross sections of unstable isotopes are important for neutron induced nucleosynthesis as well as for technological applications. The Rare Isotope Accelerator (RIA) or comparable facilities will be able to produce radioactive ion beams up to 10 12 particles/s and would therefore be a suitable place for (n,γ) studies on radioactive isotopes with half-lives between days and months....
متن کاملMeasurements of interaction cross sections for light unstable nuclei
Recent experimental results concerning interaction cross sections (σI) are reviewed. σI values have been measured by a transmission method using the fragment separator at GSI. The σI values for B, C, N, O, and F isotopes are presented. By using Glauber-model analysis, the effective matter radii for light neutron-rich nuclei can be deduced. The recently shown magic number, N = 16, near the neutr...
متن کاملLow-lying dipole strength in neutron-rich nuclei
The possibility of performing nowadays reactions with beams of unstable nuclei has opened a new field of study in nuclear physics. Using stable nuclei as targets and carrying out the experiments in inverse kinematics it becomes possible to have access to the excitation spectrum of the incoming short-lived projectiles. To this aim the most often used reactions are the Coulomb excitation and the ...

متن کاملTwo-neutron transfer in nuclei close to the dripline
We investigate the two-neutron transfer modes induced by (t,p) reactions in neutron-rich oxygen isotopes. The nuclear response to the pair transfer is calculated in the framework of continuum-Quasiparticle Random Phase Approximation (cQRPA). The cQRPA allows a consistent determination of the residual interaction and an exact treatment of the continuum coupling. The (t,p) cross sections are calc...
