The one-neutron knockout reaction 9Be(57Cr,56Cr + gamma)X has been measured
in inverse kinematics with an intermediate-energy beam. Cross sections to
individual states in 56Cr were partially untangled through the detection of the
characteristic gamma-ray transitions in coincidence with the reaction residues.
The experimental inclusive longitudinal momentum distribution and the yields to
individual states are compared to calculations that combine spectroscopic
factors from the full fp shell model and nucleon-removal cross sections
computed in a few-body eikonal approach.Comment: PRC, in pres
