Title: Convenient Location of a Near-Threshold Proton-Emitting Resonance in ${}^{11}B$

Abstract

The presence of cluster-like narrow resonances in the vicinity of reaction/decay thresholds is a ubiquitous phenomenon with profound consequences. Here, we argue that the continuum coupling, present in the open quantum system description of the atomic nucleus, can profoundly impact the nature of near-threshold states. In this Letter, we discuss the structure of the recently observed near-threshold resonance in ¹¹B, whose very existence explains the puzzling beta-delayed proton emission of the neutron-rich ¹¹Be.

Evidence of a Near-Threshold Resonance in ${}^{11}B$ Relevant to the $β$ -Delayed Proton Emission of ${}^{11}{Be}$

Journal Article Ayyad, Y. ; Mittig, W. ; Tang, T. ; ... - Physical Review Letters

A narrow near-threshold proton-emitting resonance (E_x = 11.4 MeV, J^π = 1/2⁺, and Γ_p = 4.4 keV) was directly observed in ¹¹B via proton resonance scattering. This resonance was previously inferred in the β-delayed proton emission of the neutron halo nucleus ¹¹Be. The good agreement between both experimental results serves as a ground to confirm the existence of such exotic decay and the particular behavior of weakly bound nuclei coupled to the continuum. R-matrix analysis shows a sizable partial decay width for both, proton and α(Γ_α = 11 keV) emission channels.

Journal Article Febbraro, Michael T. ; Becchetti, F. D. ; Torres-Isea, R. O. ; ... - Physical Review C

The (d,n) reaction has been studied with targets of ⁹Be, ¹¹B, ¹³C, ^14,15N, and 19F at E_d = 16MeV using a deuterated liquid-scintillator array. Advanced spectral unfolding techniques with accurately measured scintillator response functions were employed to extract neutron energy spectra without the need for long-path neutron time-of-flight. An analysis of the proton-transfer data at forward angles to the ground states of the final nuclei, using finite-range distorted-wave Born approximation analysis with common bound-state, global, and local optical-model parameter sets, yields a set of self-consistent spectroscopic factors. These are compared with the results of several previous time-of-flight measurements, most donemore »« less
