Probing the role of proton cross-shell excitations in using nucleon knockout reactions
Abstract
The neutron-rich Ni isotopes have attracted attention in recent years because of the occurrence of shape or configuration coexistence. In this work, we discuss the difference in population of excited final states in 70Ni following γ-ray tagged one-proton, one-neutron, and two-proton knockout from 71Cu, 71Ni, and 72Zn rare-isotope beams, respectively. Using variations observed in the relative transition intensities, signaling the changed population of specific final states in the different reactions, the role of neutron and proton configurations in excited states of 70Ni is probed schematically, with the goal of identifying those that carry, as leading configuration, proton excitations across the Z = 28 shell closure. Such states are implied in the literature to form a collective structure associated with prolate deformation. Adding to the body of knowledge for 70Ni, 29 new transitions are reported, of which 15 are placed in its level scheme.
