Structure of 12Be: intruder d-wave strength at N=8

The breaking of the N=8 shell-model magic number in the 12Be ground state has been determined to include significant occupancy of the intruder d-wave orbital. This is in marked contrast with all other N=8 isotones, both more and less exotic than 12Be. The occupancies of the 0 hbar omega neutron p1/2-orbital and the 1 hbar omega, neutron d5/2 intruder orbital were deduced from a measurement of neutron removal from a high-energy 12Be beam leading to bound and unbound states in 11Be.Comment: 5 pages, 2 figure

Spectroscopy of 26^{26}F

The structure of the weakly-bound $^{26}_{\;\;9}$F$_{17}$ odd-odd nucleus, produced from $^{27,28}$Na nuclei, has been investigated at GANIL by means of the in-beam $\gamma$-ray spectroscopy technique. A single $\gamma$-line is observed at 657(7) keV in $^{26}_{9}$F which has been ascribed to the decay of the excited J=$2^+$ state to the J=1$^+$ ground state. The possible presence of intruder negative parity states in $^{26}$F is also discussed.Comment: 3 pages, 1 figure, accepted for publication in Physical Review

1n- and 2n-transfer with the Borromean nucleus 6^{6}He near the Coulomb barrier

Accepetd for publication in Physical Review LettersAngular distributions for 1n- and 2n-transfer are reported for the 6He + 65Cu system at Elab = 22.6 MeV. For the first time, triple coincidences between particles, neutrons and characteristic rays from the target-like residues were used to separate the contributions arising from 1n- and 2n-transfer. The differential cross sections for these channels, elastic scattering, and fusion were analyzed using a Coupled Reaction Channels approach. The large measured ratio of the 2n/1n cross section and the strong influence of 2n-transfer on other channels indicate that the di-neutron configuration of 6He plays a dominant role in the reaction mechanism

Spectroscopy around 36^{36}Ca

Expérience GANILInternational audienceAn experiment was performed to study excited states in neutron-deficient nuclei around Ca. A one-neutron knockout reaction was used to produce $^{36}$Ca ions from a $^{37}$Ca secondary beam, and in-beam $\gamma$-rays were measured. The $2^+$ energy in $^{36}$Ca is compared to the mirror nucleus $^{36}$S to deduce information on the isospin dependence of the nuclear force near the proton drip line. The energy of the first excited $2^+$ state in $^{36}$Ca and the cross section for the 1-neutron knock-out reaction from $^{37}$Ca at $\sim$ 45 · AMeV were obtained. Furthermore, for two other $T_z$ = −2 nuclei, $^{28}$S and $^{32}$Ar, the de-excitation of the first $2^+$ state has been observed

Etude de la decroissance par neutrons retardes de noyaux legers riches en neutrons avec le multidetecteur TONNERRE

A new detection array for beta delayed neutrons was built. It includes up to 32 plastic scintillation counters 180 cm long located at 120 cm from the target. Neutron energy spectra are measured by time-of-flight in the 300 keV-15 MeVrange with good energy resolution. The device was tested with several known nuclei. Its performances are discussed in comparison with Monte Carlo simulations. The very high overall detection efficiency of the TONNERRE arraymade it possible to study one and two neutron emission of nLi. A complete decay scheme was obtained. The 33Mg and 35A1 beta decays were investigated for the first time by neutron and gamma spectroscopy. Complete decay schemes were established and compared to large scale shell-model calculations .Un nouveau détecteur pour l'étude des décroissance bêta-neutron retardé a été construit (TONNERRE). Il se compose de 32 scintillateurs plastiques courbés d'une longueur de 180 cm, positionnés chacun à 120 cm de la cibled'implantation. L'énergie des neutrons est obtenue par la mesure du temps de vol sur cette distance, permettant de-couvrir une gamme de 300 keV à 15 MeV avec une très bonne résolution. Ce dispositif a été testé avec différents noyaux connus. Ses performances sont comparées avec des résultats de simulation Monte Carlo. La grande efficacité de TONNERRE a permis l'étude de l'émission de un et de deux neutrons du uLi. De plus un schéma complet des décroissances |3 du 33Mg et du 35A1 est établi pour la première fois en faisant une spectroscopie (3-n-y. Ce schéma est comparé à des calculs de modèle en couche
