Study of the $^{18}$O + $^{64}$Ni Two-neutron Transfer Reaction at 84 MeV by MAGNEX

Abstract

A study of the two-neutron transfer reaction of the 18 O + 64 Ni system at 84 MeV incident energy to the ground and first 2 + excited state of the residual 66 Ni nucleus is presented. The experiment was performed at the INFN-LNS (Italy) by using the large acceptance MAGNEX spectrometer. Theoretical models are used in order to disentangle the competition between long-range and short-range correlations.
