Reaction dynamics and nuclear structure of moderately neutron-rich Ne isotopes by heavy ion reactions

Abstract

Abstract. The heavy ion reaction 22 Ne+ 208 Pb at 128 MeV of bombarding energy has been studied using the PRISMA-CLARA experimental setup at Legnaro National Laboratories. Elastic, inelastic and one nucleon transfer cross sections have been measured. The experimental results are presented in parallel with the analysis on existing data for the unstable 24 Ne nucleus, from the reaction 24 Ne+ 208 Pb at 182 MeV (measured at SPI-RAL with the VAMOS-EXOGAM setup). The β C 2 charge deformation parameter for both 22 Ne and 24 Ne has been determined by a DWBA analysis of the experimental angular distributions, showing a strong reduction for 24 Ne.
