- The interaction cross sections of Mg32-35 at 900A MeV have been measurmed using the fragment separator at GSI. The deviation from the r(0)A(1/3) trend is slightly larger for Mg-35, signaling the possible formation of a longer tail in the neutron distribution for Mg-35. The radii extracted from a Glauber model analysis with Fermi densities are consistent with models predicting the development of neutron skins.

One-Neutron Removal Measurement Reveals O-24 as a New Doubly Magic Nucleus
- 2009
-
In: Physical Review Letters. - 1079-7114 .- 0031-9007. ; 102:15
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The first measurement of the momentum distribution for one-neutron removal from O-24 at 920A MeV performed at GSI, Darmstadt is reported. The observed distribution has a width (FWHM) of 99 +/- 4 MeV/c in the projectile rest frame and a one-neutron removal cross section of 63 +/- 7 mb. The results are well explained with a nearly pure 2s(1/2) neutron spectroscopic factor of 1.74 +/- 0.19 within the eikonal model. This large s-wave probability shows a spherical shell closure thereby confirming earlier suggestions that O-24 is a new doubly magic nucleus.

- The first reaction spectroscopy oil the ground state structure of Mg-33 through the measurement of the longitudinal momentum distribution from the one-neutron removal reaction Using a C target at 898A MeV is reported The experiment was performed at the FRS, GSI The distribution has a relatively narrow width (150 +/- 3 MeV/c (FWHM)) and the one-neutron removal cross-section is 74 +/- 4 mb An increased contribution from the (2)p(3/2) orbital is required to explain the observation showing its lowering compared to existing model predictions This provides new information regarding the configuration of Mg-33 and the island of inversion (C) 2010 Elsevier B V All rights reserved

Towards the Limits of Existence of Nuclear Structure: Observation and First Spectroscopy of the Isotope K-31 by Measuring Its Three-Proton Decay
- 2019
-
In: Physical Review Letters. - 1079-7114 .- 0031-9007. ; 123:9
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The most remote isotope from the proton dripline (by 4 atomic mass units) has been observed: K-31. It is unbound with respect to three-proton (3p) emission, and its decays have been detected in flight by measuring the trajectories of all decay products using microstrip detectors. The 3p emission processes have been studied by the means of angular correlations of S-28 + 3p and the respective decay vertices. The energies of the previously unknown ground and excited states of K-31 have been determined. This provides its 3p separation energy value S-3p of -4.6(2) MeV. Upper half-life limits of 10 ps of the observed K-31 states have been derived from distributions of the measured decay vertices.

Deep excursion beyond the proton dripline. I. Argon and chlorine isotope chains
- 2018

In: Physical Review C. - 2469-9993 .- 2469-9985. ; 98:6
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The proton-unbound argon and chlorine isotopes have been studied by measuring trajectories of their decay-in-flight products by using a tracking technique with microstrip detectors. The proton (1p) and two-proton (2p) emission processes have been detected in the measured angular correlations "heavy-fragment"+p and "heavy-fragment"+p+p, respectively. The ground states of the previously unknown isotopes Cl30 and Cl28 have been observed for the first time, providing the 1p-separation energies Sp of -0.48(2) and -1.60(8), MeV, respectively. The relevant systematics of 1p- and 2p-separation energies have been studied theoretically in the core+p and core+p+p cluster models. The first-time observed excited states of Ar31 allow one to infer the 2p-separation energy S2p of 6(34) keV for its ground state. The first-time observed state in Ar29 with S2p=-5.50(18) MeV can be identified as either a ground state or an excited state according to different systematics.

Observation and Spectroscopy of New Proton-Unbound Isotopes Ar-30 and Cl-29: An Interplay of Prompt Two-Proton and Sequential Decay
- 2015
-
In: Physical Review Letters. - 1079-7114 .- 0031-9007. ; 115:20, s. 7-
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Previously unknown isotopes Ar-30 and Cl-29 have been identified by measurement of the trajectories of their in-flight decay products S-28 + p + p and S-28 + p, respectively. The analysis of angular correlations of the fragments provided information on decay energies and the structure of the parent states. The ground states of Ar-30 and Cl-29 were found at 2.25(-0.10)(+0.15) and 1.8 +/- 0.1 MeV above the two-and one-proton thresholds, respectively. The lowest states in Ar-30 and Cl-29 point to a violation of isobaric symmetry in the structure of these unbound nuclei. The two-proton decay has been identified in a transition region between simultaneous two-proton and sequential proton emissions from the Ar-30 ground state, which is characterized by an interplay of three-body and two-body decay mechanisms. The first hint of a fine structure of the two-proton decay of Ar-30*(2(+)) has been obtained by detecting two decay branches into the ground and first-excited states of the S-28 fragment.

Shell Closure N=16 in O-24
- 2009
-
In: AIP Conference Proceedings. - 1551-7616 .- 0094-243X. ; 1165, s. 90-93 461
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Advanced nuclear structure models predict the presence of the shell closures N=14, 16 in neutron-rich O isotopes rather than N=20. Spectroscopic investigations performed at the neutron drip line have recently confirmed such predictions showing that the O-24 is a doubly magic nucleus (Z=8, N=16). Predictions within the shell model calculation for the O-23,O-24 ground state have been confirmed measuring their spectroscopic factors. Results obtained in one-neutron removal reactions performed by using in-flight radioactive ion beams produced at the Fragment Separator FRS of GSI are reported.
