T=5/2 states in 9Li: Isobaric analog states of 9He
The thick target inverse kinematic method was applied to the study of isobaric analog states in the neutron-rich nucleus 9Li. For this purpose, an excitation function for 8He+p elastic scattering was measured in the center-of-momentum energy range from 1.6 to 5.8 MeV. Three T=5/2 states in 9Li (isobaric analogs of 9He) were observed. Restrictions on the spin-parity assignments are provided according to R-matrix calculations, and conclusions regarding the structure of 9He are given. peerReviewed
Crossing the Dripline to 11N Using Elastic Resonance Scattering
The level structure of the unbound nucleus 11N has been studied by 10C+p elastic resonance scattering in inverse geometry with the LISE3 spectrometer at GANIL, using a 10C beam with an energy of 9.0 MeV/u. An additional measurement was done at the A1200 spectrometer at MSU. The excitation function above the 10C+p threshold has been determined up to 5 MeV. A potential-model analysis revealed three resonance states at energies 1.27 (+0.18-0.05) MeV (Gamma=1.44 +-0.2 MeV), 2.01(+0.15-0.05) MeV, (Gamma=0.84 +-$0.2 MeV) and 3.75(+-0.05) MeV, (Gamma=0.60 +-0.05 MeV) with the spin-parity assignments I(pi) =1/2+, 1/2- and 5/2+, respectively. Hence, 11N is shown to have a ground state parity inversi…
Doubling of α-cluster states in 22 Ne
Excitation functions for 18 O + α elastic scattering were measured by a method using inverse kinematics and a thick gas target. An analysis of the data corresponding to the excitation energy regions of 11.8–13.7 MeV and 19.0–22.0 MeV in 22 Ne was carried out. A surprising splitting of 1 − , 3 − , 7 − , and 9 − α -cluster levels into doublets was found in 22 Ne . peerReviewed
Molecular Structures in T=1 states of 10B
Multi-center (molecular) structures can play an important role in light nuclei. The highly deformed rotational band in 10Be with band head at 6.179 MeV has been observed recently and suggested to have an exotic alpha:2n:alpha configuration. A search for states with alpha:pn:alpha two-center molecular configurations in 10B that are analogous to the states with alpha:2n:alpha structure in 10Be has been performed. The T=1 isobaric analog states in 10B were studied in the excitation energy range of E=8.7-12.1 MeV using the reaction 1H(9Be,alpha)6Li*(T=1, 0+, 3.56 MeV). An R-matrix analysis was used to extract parameters for the states observed in the (p,alpha) excitation function. Five T=1 stat…
