Presentation Transcript

  1. Transfer reactions with 8Li(a status report) PhD student: Elisabeth Tengborn Supervisor: Thomas Nilsson Subatomic physics, Chalmers University of Technology

  2. Scientific motivation • Structure of neutron-rich lithium isotopes through a set of experiments • isotopic chain with the last bound two-neutron halo nucleus 11Li • Transfer reactions in inverse kinematics allows us to obtain the angular distribution → • l value of the populated state • How large part of the wave function for the populated state can be described as a single particle state • Made possible thanks to REX-ISOLDE • Compare with theoretical models: • ab-initio • shell model through the spectroscopic factors

  3. Scientific motivation • 2H(9Li,t)8Li (Jeppesen et al. Phys. Lett. B 635 (2006) 17-22) Discrepancy in spectroscopic factors on an absolute scale • Benchmarking experiment • Reaction channels: 2H(8Li,p)9Li(*) (one neutron pick-up – (d,p)) 2H(8Li,d)8Li(*) ((in)elastic scattering – (d,d)) 2H(8Li,t)7Li(*) (well known nucleus – (d,t))

  4. REX-ISOLDE@ISOLDE, CERN

  5. Experimental set-up DSSSD1 & 2 have 32 front & 32 back strips → thus being position sensitive ΔE detector – DSSSD1 E detector p 8Li3+ REX- ISOLDE 9Li* Intensity reduction foil Monitor detector ΔE detector – DSSSD2 E detector ΔE + E detector = telescope detector

  6. Energy levels of 7Li: g. s. (3/2-) 0.47761 MeV (1/2-) 4.652 MeV (7/2-) 6.604 MeV (5/2-) Energy levels of 8Li: g. s. (2+) 0.9808 MeV (1+) 2.255 MeV (3+) 3.21 MeV (1+) Energy levels of 9Li: g. s. (3/2-) 2.691 MeV (1/2-) 4.296 MeV (5/2-) 5.38 MeV Data from TUNL

  7. Energy vs. angle distributions The kinematical curves overlaid represent feeding to the known low-lying states in 9Li. In each The curves correspond to reactions in the beginning and in the end of the target. 8Li + 2H → 9Li* + p

  8. Excitationenergy curves 0.9808 MeV 2.255 MeV 3.21 MeV Eex(8Li) Eex(7Li) Eex(9Li) 0.47761 MeV 4.652 MeV 6.604 MeV 7.454 MeV 2.691 MeV 4.296 MeV 5.38 MeV

  9. Angular distribution, absolute scale Ground state for 9Li dσ/dΩ[mb/sr] Θcm [degrees]

  10. To Do • Compare the different reaction channels with theoretical calculations (DWBA calculations).

  11. And now the oxygen is probably gone… so thank you for your attention!
