Title: Recent Spectroscopic Studies on Light Neutron-Rich Nuclei with Fast Exotic Beams

Abstract

Fast beams of radioactive isotope (RI) have been used for nuclear spectroscopy at RIKEN since 1990. Various direct-reaction experiments have been performed at intermediate-energies in the reversed kinematics to study structures of nuclei very far from the stability valley. Several examples of recent results on neutron-rich nuclei around N=20 and carbon isotopes are presented. The RIKEN RI Beam Factory, which will have the first beam in the end of 2006, will greatly extend the region of study to more exotic and heavier nuclei.

    A new method for calculating the low-lying states of light nuclei is proposed: Antisymmetrized Molecular Dynamics (AMD) - Superposition of Selected Snapshots (AMD triple-S). In addition to the cluster features of the core nucleus, the properties of the wave of valence nucleons are well expressed in terms of a superposition of selected AMD wave functions. For 6He, the binding energy and the halo nature are reproduced using effective interactions determined from a phase-shift analysis. For the deformed core cases, in 12Be, the newly observed J = 0 state at 2.24 MeV is analyzed to be the second 0+ state.

    In this presentation I discussed two subjects. One is the persistence of threefold symmetry in the ground state of {sup 12}C. Recently D{sub 3h} symmetry has been established in {sup 12}C, which reflects the geometric symmetry of the three α particles. Although the spin-orbit interaction plays a significant role and this interaction breaks the α clusters, we show that threefold symmetry of {sup 12}C is still there. We use AQCM approach and discuss that inclusion of spin-orbit interaction, which is absent in the conventional microscopic α cluster models, is possible keeping the threefold symmetry. The second subject is the appearancemore » of rod shape in C isotopes, which has been investigated in the framework of the cranking covariant density functional theory. The relationship between the stability of such states and the spin and isospin degrees of freedom is discussed; adding valence neutrons and rotating the system. These two effects stabilize the rod shape, and in addition, their coherent effect has been found; the σ-orbits (parallel to the symmetry axis) of the valence neutrons, which enhances the rod shape, is lowered by the rotation of the system, and this σ-orbit pulls down the single particle energies of protons with linear configuration owing to the proton-neutron interaction effect.« less

    An exploratory experiment performed at REX-ISOLDE to investigate cluster-transfer reactions with radioactive beams in inverse kinematics is presented. The aim of the experiment was to test the potential of cluster-transfer reactions at the Coulomb barrier as a mechanism to explore the structure of exotic neutron-rich nuclei. The reactions 7Li( 98Rb,αxn) and 7Li( 98Rb,txn) were studied through particle-γ coincidence measurements, and the results are presented in terms of the observed excitation energies and spins. Moreover, the reaction mechanism is qualitatively discussed as a transfer of a clusterlike particle within a distorted-wave Born approximation framework. The results indicate that cluster-transfer reactions canmore » be described well as a direct process and that they can be an efficient method to investigate the structure of neutron-rich nuclei at medium-high excitation energies and spins.« less
