Complete set of bound negative-parity states in the neutron-rich nucleus N18

Abstract

The structure of light nuclei can be predicted by state-ofthe-art ab initio as well as large-scale shell-model calculations [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]. Both approaches aim at probing nuclear interactions and describing nuclear properties in a wide range of nuclei, including exotic systems, i.e., those lying far away from the 2469-9985/2021/104(4)/L041301(6)L041301-1

Study of the Isomeric State in $^{16}$N Using the $^{16}$N$^{g,m}$($d$,$^3$He) Reaction

“…Recently, Ref. [58] measured the excitation energies of the s-orbital doublet (J π = 0 − , 1 − ) in N = 11 18 N, which correspond to binding energies of ≈ 1.7 MeV. This result was predicted and agreed in Ref.…”

High-Precision Spectroscopy of O20 Benchmarking Ab Initio Calculations in Light Nuclei

“…The simulations have been performed using the AGATA Geant4 simulation code [41], that includes the geometry of the array and the reaction event with the emission of the beamand target-like particles as well as γ rays. Line-shape analysis based on Monte Carlo simulations for AGATA was already performed in the fs range [42][43][44], proving the capabilities of the apparatus in this range of lifetimes.…”
