Structure of Be-11 from the (p, d) reaction in inverse kinematics

We have performed the 11Be(p, d) 10Be reaction in inverse kinematics. The 10Be were detected in the SPEG spectrometer and the deuterons detected in a silicon array in coincidence. The yield to the first excited state (2+) of 10Be is greater than that to the 0+ ground state, and increases with angle. Strong population of the two-alpha plus two-neutron states near 6 MeV (in the two-centre shell-model description) is observed. The ultimate goal is to study the microscopic structure of 11Be from the extracted spectroscopic factors
