Title: d/sub 5/2/-single particle strength in /sup 48/Ca + n

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6395729

The neutron total cross section of /sup 48/Ca was measured up to 4 MeV and the data analyzed using an R-matrix code to obtain resonance parameters and potential scattering phase shifts. No s-wave resonances were observed and the small cross sections (approx. 0.5 b) at low energy requires a real well depth of 48 MeV. Three strong d-wave resonances (amounting to 45% of the single particle limit) were found in the 0.8 to 2.0 MeV energy region. Shell-model-in-the-continuum calculations agree with these observations.
