The isovector response in $^{12}$B was investigated via the $^{12}$C($^{10}\mathrm{Be}$,$^{10}\mathrm{B}$+$\gamma$)$^{12}$B$^\ast$ reaction at $100 A \, \mathrm{MeV}$. By utilizing the $\gamma$-decay properties of the 1.74 MeV $0^{+}$ and…
Background: Single-crystal chemical vapor deposited (sCVD) diamond detectors offer a unique method to study cross sections of reactions on carbon since they can be used as active targets. Previous studies analyzing neutrons on carbon using…
The Modular Neutron Array (MoNA) collaboration was initiated in 2000 at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory (NSCL) at Michigan State University (MSU). Since then, the collaboration studied properties of nuclides at and beyond…
Background: $^{15}$Be is an unbound nuclide that has been observed to decay by one-neutron emission. Shell model calculations predict two low-lying states in its energy spectrum, however, only a single resonance has been observed from…
Background: The nucleus $^{32}$Mg ($N=20$ and $Z=12$) plays a central role in the so-called "island of inversion" where in the ground states $sd$-shell neutrons are promoted to the $fp$-shell orbitals across the shell gap, resulting in the…
Situated in the so-called "island of inversion," the nucleus $^{32}$Mg is considered as an archetypal example of the disappearance of magicity at $N=20$. We report on high statistics in-beam spectroscopy of $^{32}$Mg with a unique approach,…
We have developed and tested an experimental technique for the measurement of low-energy (p,n) reactions in inverse kinematics relevant to nuclear astrophysics. The proposed setup is located at the ReA3 facility at the National…
Excited states in $^{28}$Na have been studied using the $\beta$-decay of implanted $^{28}$Ne ions at GANIL/LISE as well as the in-beam $\gamma$-ray spectroscopy at the NSCL/S800 facility. New states of positive (J$^{\pi}$=3,4$^+$) and…
