We present an investigation of the structure of 13 Be obtained via a kinematically complete measurement of the (p, pn) reaction in inverse kinematics at 265 MeV/nucleon. The relative energy spectrum of 13 Be is compared to Transfer-to-the-Continuum calculations which use as structure inputs the overlaps of the 14 Be ground-state wave function, computed in a three-body model, with the unbound states of the 13 Be residual nucleus. The key role of neutron p-wave orbital in the interpretation of the low-relative-energy part of the spectrum is discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
