Title: Intruder dominance in the $${0_2^+}$$ state of ³²Mg studied with a novel technique for in-flight decays

Abstract

The development of advanced $γ$-ray tracking arrays allows for a sensitive new technique to investigate elusive states of exotic nuclei with fast rare-isotope beams. By taking advantage of the excellent energy and position resolution of the Gamma-Ray Energy Tracking In-beam Nuclear Array in this study, we developed a novel technique to identify in-flight isomeric decays of the 0$$^+_2$$ state in ³²Mg populated in a two-proton removal reaction. We confirm the 0$$^+_2$$ → 2$$^+_1$$ $γ$-ray transition of ³²Mg and constrain the 0$$^+_2$$ decay lifetime, suggesting a large collectivity. The small partial cross section populating the 0$$^+_2$$ state in this reaction provides experimental evidence for the reduced occupancy of the normal configuration of the 0$$^+_2$$ state, indicating the intruder dominance of this state.

gamma-ray decays from excited states in {sup 30}Ne and inclusive and exclusive cross sections were measured in the {sup 9}Be({sup 32}Mg,{sup 30}Ne+gamma)X two-proton knockout reaction at incident beam energies of 99.7 and 86.7 MeV/nucleon. The measured cross section is suppressed compared to calculations and is indicative of a reduced overlap of initial and final state wave functions in {sup 32}Mg and {sup 30}Ne.

Structure of ³⁰Mg explored via in-beam γ-ray spectroscopy

Journal Article Kitamura, N. ; Wimmer, K. ; Shimizu, N. ; ... - Physical Review C

In the island of inversion, ground states of neutron-rich sd-shell nuclei exhibit strong admixtures of intruder configurations from the fp shell. The nucleus ³⁰Mg, located at the boundary of the island of inversion, serves as a cornerstone to track the structural evolution as one approaches this region. Spin-parity assignments for excited states in ³⁰Mg, especially negative-parity levels, have yet to be established. In the present work, the nuclear structure of 30Mg was investigated by in-beam gamma-ray spectroscopy mainly focusing on firm spin-parity determinations. High-intensity rare-isotope beams of ³¹Mg, ³²Mg, ³⁴Si, and ³⁵P bombarded a Be target to induce nucleon removalmore »« less

Studying neutron-rich 18 N in fusion-evaporation reactions

Technical Report Wiedeking, M ; Fallon, P ; Bernstein, L ; ...

Light neutron-rich nuclei provide an excellent opportunity to study the changes in nuclear shell structure that occur with increasing neutron number and are an important testing ground for shell model theories. Probably one of the most striking examples of shell modification is the occurrence of intruder ground states, which signal an inversion of the normal shell ordering. Intruder ground states are observed around {sup 32}Mg (Z=10-12), ''the island of inversion'', and in {sup 11}Be. An analogous situation appears in the Z=2 He isotopes, where the intrusion of sd excitations in p-shell configurations becomes important in the heavy helium isotopes. Finally,more »« less

Rotational band structure in ${}^{32}{Mg}$

Journal Article Crawford, H. L. ; Fallon, P. ; Macchiavelli, A. O. ; ... - Physical Review C

There is significant evidence supporting the existence of deformed ground states within the neutron-rich N ≈ 20 neon, sodium, and magnesium isotopes that make up what is commonly called the “island of inversion.” However, the rotational band structures, which are a characteristic fingerprint of a rigid nonspherical shape, have yet to be observed. In this work, we report on a measurement and analysis of the yrast (lowest lying) rotational band in 32 Mg up to spin I = 6 + produced in a two-step projectile fragmentation reaction and observed using the state-of-the-art γ -ray tracking detector array, GRETINA ( γmore »« less

Excited intruder states in {sup 32}Mg

Journal Article Tripathi, Vandana ; Tabor, S L ; Bender, P ; ... - Physical Review. C, Nuclear Physics

The low energy level structure of N=20 {sup 32}Mg obtained via {beta}-delayed {gamma} spectroscopy is reported. The level structure of {sup 32}Mg is found to be completely dominated by intruders. An inversion between the 1p-1h and 3p-3h states is observed for the negative parity states, similar to the 0p-0h and 2p-2h inversion for the positive parity states in these N{approx}20 nuclei. The intruder excited states, both positive and negative parity, are reasonably explained by Monte Carlo shell model calculations, which suggest a shrinking N=20 shell gap with decreasing Z.
