Investigating trends in proton single-particle states in Z = 51 isotopes using transfer reactions

Abstract

A study of low-lying excited states in Z 51 isotopes has been performed using single-proton adding reactions, (a,t) and ( 3He,d), on the series of stable, even mass Z 50 isotopes. Our goal was to build upon results from a previous (a,t) study [1] by examining the fragmentation of high-j (g 7/2 and h 11/2) single-proton strengths utilising greater statistics. Data from the ( 3He,d) measurements provide further information regarding the low-j orbitals within this nuclear shell. Preliminary findings from the analysis are presented in this report. Show more
