Abstract

The low-lying structure of 15^{15}C has been investigated via the neutron-removal 16^{16}C(d,t)(d,t) reaction. Along with bound neutron sd-shell hole states, unbound p-shell hole states have been firmly confirmed. The excitation energies and the deduced spectroscopic factors of the cross-shell states are an important measure of the [(p)1(sd)2][(p)^{-1}(sd)^{2}] neutron configurations in 15^{15}C. Our results show a very good agreement with shell-model calculations using the SFO-tls interaction for 15^{15}C. However, a modification of the pp-sdsd and sdsd-sdsd monopole terms was applied in order to reproduce the N=9N=9 isotone 17^{17}O. In addition, the excitation energies and spectroscopic factors have been compared to the first calculations of 15^{15}C with the ab initioab~ initio self-consistent Green's function method employing the NNLOsat_{sat} interaction. The results show the sensitivity to the size of the N=8N=8 shell gap and highlight the need of going beyond the current truncation scheme in the theory.
