Abstract:We report on the first in-beam γ-ray spectroscopy of the proton-dripline nucleus 40 Sc using two-nucleon pickup onto an intermediate-energy rare-isotope beam of 38 Ca. The 9 Be( 38 Ca, 40 Sc+γ)X reaction at 60.9 MeV/nucleon mid-target energy selectively populates states in 40 Sc for which the transferred proton and neutron couple to high orbital angular momentum. In turn, due to angular-momentum selection rules in proton emission and the nuclear structure and energetics of 39 Ca, such states in 40 Sc then exh… Show more
