Abstract:Neutron unbound states in23 N were populated via proton knockout from an 83.4 MeV/nucleon 24 O beam on a liquid deuterium target. The two-body decay energy displays two peaks at E1 ∼ 100 keV and E2 ∼ 1 MeV with respect to the neutron separation energy. The data are consistent with shell model calculations predicting resonances at excitation energies of ∼ 3.6 MeV and ∼ 4.5 MeV. The selectivity of the reaction implies that these states correspond to the first and second 3/2 − states. The energy of the first stat… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
