Studies of Single-Particle Structure in the N=16 Region Using Transfer Reactions
Résumé
We have developed a new experimental setup based at the GANIL/SPIRAL facility in Caen, France to measure one-nucleon transfer reactions in inverse kinematics in order to study the evolution of the single particle structure of exotic nuclei. The setup couples together three state-of-the-art detection systems: the TIARA Si array, the large-acceptance magnetic spectrometer VAMOS and the high-efficiency segmented Ge gamma-ray array EXOGAM. In a first experiment, the $^{24}$Ne(d,p)$^{25}$Ne reaction has been studied to probe the N=16 shell closure. Details of the setup, data analysis and preliminary results are presented.
