An above-barrier narrow resonance in $^{15}$F

Nuclear Experiment 2016-05-25 v1

Abstract

Intense and purified radioactive beam of post-accelerated 14^{14}O was used to study the low-lying states in the unbound 15^{15}F nucleus. Exploiting resonant elastic scattering in inverse kinematics with a thick target, the second excited state, a resonance at E_R\_R=4.757(6)(10)~MeV with a width of Γ\Gamma=36(5)(14)~keV was measured for the first time with high precision. The structure of this narrow above-barrier state in a nucleus located two neutrons beyond the proton drip line was investigated using the Gamow Shell Model in the coupled channel representation with a 12^{12}C core and three valence protons. It is found that it is an almost pure wave function of two quasi-bound protons in the 2s_1/22s\_{1/2} shell.
