Intermediate energy proton knockout to the “island of inversion” isotopeMg31

Abstract: The "island of the inversion" isotope 31 Mg was investigated using an intermediate energy proton knockout reaction from 32 Al at 90 MeV/nucleon at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory. A negligible cross section to the ground state supports an intruder-dominant configuration in 31 Mg. The partial cross sections to excited final states preferentially populate configurations in the 31 Mg residues which have no neutron excitations across the N = 20 shell closure. There is strong evidence that the rea… Show more

“…[19] for details), thus a 3/2 + spin/parity is assigned to the 50-keV level. The level at 673 keV as well as a level at 2015 keV have been populated in the proton knockout reaction on 32 Al (dashed blue lines) [23]. The 32 Al ground state has a normal sd-shell structure (established through g factor and quadrupole moment measurements [24,25]), and therefore 0hω neutron-hole configurations are populated in this knockout reaction.…”

“…Additionally, population of the states at 945 keV and 2.244 MeV was observed. In contrast, one-proton knockout from 32 Al [73], having a normal-order configuration of the ground state, preferentially populated the states at 673 keV and 2015 keV (assigned as 3/2 + and 5/2 + , respectively, in Ref. [74]), which consequently were 31 Mg in one-nucleon removal reactions.…”

“…[3,33]). As was also reported recently [22,23], theoretical calculations of two-nucleon removal also predict (a) residue momentum distributions with shapes and widths characteristic of the final-state spin value I , with larger I giving increasingly broad residue momentum distributions, and (b) significant spin alignment of the reaction residues.…”
