DREB2014 - Direct Reactions with Exotic Beams

Structures of the neutron-rich nuclei around $N=20$ nucleus ${}^{32}$Mg have been studied via the direct reactions induced by the isoscalar probe of $\alpha$ particle. An array of position sensitive segmented Ge detectors, GRAPE, was employed for the in-beam $\gamma$-ray spectroscopy. Special attention is paid to single-particle states populated via the nucleon transfer reactions as well as...

The region around the nucleus 68Ni, with a shell closure at Z = 28 and a sub-shell closure at N = 40, is the source of considerable interest in nuclear-structure studies. Despite a significant set of experimental and theoretical information available on 68Ni [1, 2, 3, 4, 5], the origin of its structure is still being questioned. A recent clarification of the energy and spin assignment of...

The Sn isotopes between N=50 and N=82 are the longest chain of semi-magic nuclei accessible to nuclear structure studies. They provide an ideal testing ground to study the evolution of shell structure with isospin. Among them 100Sn, the heaviest proton-bound self-conjugate nucleus, is a unique case for studying single-particle energies and residual interactions far from the line of stability....

The study of the unbound system 10Li is of great interest since the knowledge of its structure is a crucial ingredient in the description of the two-neutron halo nucleus 11Li. Despite the significant amount of experimental information gathered during the last years, the properties of the 10Li continuum remains unclear, to the extent that even the energy and the spin-parity of the ground...
