We study the resonance spectroscopy of 7He in the 4He+n+n+n cluster model, where the motion of valence neutrons is described in the cluster orbital shell model. Many-body resonances are treated on the correct boundary condition as the Gamow…
Background: Level structure of the most neutron deficient nucleon-bound carbon isotope, 9C, is not well known. Definitive spin-parity assignments are only available for two excited states. No positive parity states have been conclusively…
The presence of not yet detected intruder states in $^{8}Be$ e.g. a $J=2^{+}$ intruder at 9 $MeV$ excitation would affect the shape of the $\beta ^{\mp }$-delayed alpha spectra of $^{8}Li$ and $^{8}B$. In order to test the plausibility of…
In a kinematically complete measurement of the $^{7}$Li($^{7}$Li,$\alpha$$^{6}$He)$^4$He reaction at $E_{i}$ = 8 MeV it was observed that the $^{10}$Be excited states at 9.6 and 10.2 MeV decay by $^{6}$He emission. The state at 10.2 MeV may…
The structure of exotic nucleus 10N was studied using 9C+p resonance scattering. Two L=0 resonances were found to be the lowest states in 10N. The ground state of 10N is unbound with respect to proton decay by 2.2(2) or 1.9(2) MeV depending…
The structure of high-lying states in $^{22}$Ne has been studied using the $^{14}$C($^{12}$C,$\alpha$)$^{22}$Ne reaction at E($^{12}$C)= 44 MeV. The spins were determined by measuring double ($\alpha$,$\alpha$) angular correlations.…
The level structure of the unbound nucleus 11N has been studied by 10C+p elastic resonance scattering in inverse geometry with the LISE3 spectrometer at GANIL, using a 10C beam with an energy of 9.0 MeV/u. An additional measurement was done…
Motivation: Detailed experimental knowledge of the level structure of light weakly bound nuclei is necessary to guide the development of new theoretical approaches that combine nuclear structure with reaction dynamics. Purpose: The resonant…
The level structure of the very neutron rich and unbound $^9$He nucleus has been the subject of significant experimental and theoretical study. Many recent works have claimed that the two lowest energy $^9$He states exist with spins…
The neutron rich exotic unbound 7He nucleus has been the subject of many experimental investigations. While the ground-state 3/2- resonance is well established, there is a controversy concerning the excited 1/2- resonance reported in some…
The multi-layer $S={1\over 2}$ square lattice Heisenberg antiferromagnet with up to 6 layers is studied via various series expansions. For the systems with an odd number of coupled planes, the ground-state energy, staggered magnetization,…
The results of investigations of the relativistic $^9$Be nucleus fragmentation in emulsion which entails the production of two He fragments of an energy of 1.2~A~GeV are presented. The results of the angular measurements of the…
High-spin spectroscopic study of $^{202}$Po ($Z$ = 84, $N$ = 118) has been carried out using the $^{195}$Pt($^{12}$C, 5n)$^{202}$Po fusion-evaporation reaction. An extended level scheme has been proposed up to an excitation energy of…
Halo nuclei are excellent examples of few-body systems consisting of a core and weakly-bound halo nucleons. Where there is only one nucleon in the halo, as in 11Be, the many-body problem can be reduced to a two-body problem. The…
Recent results from RIKEN/RIBF on the low-lying level structure of 29F are interpreted within the Particle-Rotor Model. We show that the experimental data can be understood in the Rotation-aligned Coupling Scheme, with the 5/2+ ground state…
A scattering method is used to calculate the surface band structure of Al(111) from 8.6 eV below the Fermi level to 9 eV above it. This method has rarely been implemented previously. The complete complex bulk and surface band structure is…
Cross sections for elastic and inelastic scattering of the weakly-bound $^9$Be nucleus on a $^{120}$Sn target have been measured at seven bombarding energies around and above the Coulomb barrier. The elastic angular distributions are…
We investigate the use of proton-nucleus elastic scattering experiments using secondary beams of 6He and 8He to determine the physical structure of these nuclei. The sensitivity of these experiments to nuclear structure is examined by using…
Within the low-lying spectrum of 10Be, multiple rotational bands are found, with strikingly different moments of inertia. A proposed interpretation has been that these bands variously represent triaxial rotation and prolate axially-deformed…
