Tripathi et al., PRL 94, 162501 (2005) No intruder component in gs wave function (from g factor) Excited states: correspondence exp  theory not obvious?!? Low-lying negative parity states predicted by MCSM  Measure for size of the N=20 gap Y. Utsuno et al., PRC 70, 044307 (2004)

4 November 16, 2009 | INTC Meeting | TUD - Institut für Kernphysik | Thorsten Kröll | 4 Experimental programme Q 00 = 1.32 MeV … optimal matching for population of states in the region of interest Competing reactions (PID needed): (d,t) Q 00 = -0.47 MeV (p,d) Q 00 = -4.07 MeV 29 Na 30 Na 28 Na 27 Na Possible future experiments: 2 H( 28 Na, 29 Na) 1 H Q 00 = 2.19 MeV 3 H( 27 Na, 29 Na) 1 H Q 00 = -0.5 MeV 3 H( 28 Na, 30 Na) 1 H Q 00 = -1.69 MeV … to map transition into the „island“ 2 H( 27 Na, 28 Na) 1 H

5 November 16, 2009 | INTC Meeting | TUD - Institut für Kernphysik | Thorsten Kröll | 5 27 Na (5/2 + ): no intruder component in gs, odd proton in d 5/2 orbital Transfer to an odd-even nucleus … coupling of odd proton and odd neutron Odd neutron in positive parity orbital d 3/2 … positive parity states formed Odd neutron in negative parity orbitals f 7/2 or p 3/2 … negative parity states formed  28 Na> =  27 Na>  n> What happens to 27 Na „core“ in 28 Na??  Relative spectroscopic factors No intruder component in | 27 Na> core  SFs large (e.g. for transfer to gs of 28 Na) Intruder component in | 27 Na> core  SFs smaller

6 November 16, 2009 | INTC Meeting | TUD - Institut für Kernphysik | Thorsten Kröll | 6 2 H( 27 Na, 28 Na) 1 H @ 3 MeV/u  L=1,2,3 FRESCO optical potentials scaled from reactions with stable nuclei all spectroscopic factors set to unity NEWS: MCSM can now calculate also SFs!!! (Y. Utsuno, priv. communication)

7 November 16, 2009 | INTC Meeting | TUD - Institut für Kernphysik | Thorsten Kröll | 7 Experimental set-up (2008) - T-REX and MINIBALL beam barrel CD T-REX was funded and built by TU München, KU Leuven, CSNSM Orsay, CERN, and UK groups … (now also) TU Darmstadt

8 November 16, 2009 | INTC Meeting | TUD - Institut für Kernphysik | Thorsten Kröll | 8 2 H( 27 Na, 28 Na) 1 H @ 3 MeV/u d  /d  : a few mb/sr pronounced angular distributions   L=1,2,3 well distinguishable „Blind“ zone

9 November 16, 2009 | INTC Meeting | TUD - Institut für Kernphysik | Thorsten Kröll | 9 T-REX … proposed improvement Detector arrangement now: „blind“ zone around 90° New arrangements under consideration Target … simulations needed to find optimum! or

10 November 16, 2009 | INTC Meeting | TUD - Institut für Kernphysik | Thorsten Kröll | 10 Observables and results Angular distribution of protons  orbital angular momentum transfer  parity of states Energies of protons and coincident  -rays  level energies Relative SFs  identify possible intruder configuration (excitation of a neutron-pair across N=20) in neutron wave function … at least qualitatively Orbital angular momentum transfer Relative SFs Decay pattern of excited states Angular distribution of  -rays  … allows to determine (or, at least, to restrict) spin of states Data set rich of spectroscopic information

11 November 16, 2009 | INTC Meeting | TUD - Institut für Kernphysik | Thorsten Kröll | 11 Beam intensity T 1/2 [ms] PSB Yield [/  C] Intensity IS482 [/s] Estimate [/s] 27 Na3018.5·10 6 2·10 5 28 Na30.59.6·10 5 < 2·10 4 29 Na44.91.5·10 5 3-4·10 3 30 Na485.1·10 4 0.6-1·10 3 ISAC-2 @ TRIUMF: 27 Na, expected intensity 10 4 /s standard UC x target, surface ionisation

12 November 16, 2009 | INTC Meeting | TUD - Institut für Kernphysik | Thorsten Kröll | 12 Beam composition Contaminations: Al and small amount Mg (from Na decay) … as seen in experiment IS482 ( 29,30 Na) Na/Al ratio much more favourable for lighter masses because of larger Na and smaller Al yields Monitored by  E-E telescope or Bragg chamber in beam dump (d,p) reaction on 27 Al: Q 00 = 5.5 MeV - stable nucleus (suppressed by time gate on proton impact) - high-lying states populated - level scheme and  -rays of 28 Al well known (NNDC) RILIS to improve Na/Al ratio??? - ionisation scheme exists and has been tested U. Köster et al., Spec. Acta Part B 58, 1047 (2003) - … high demand for RILIS  NOT necessary for 27 Na (maybe for 28 Na in a future Addendum)

13 November 16, 2009 | INTC Meeting | TUD - Institut für Kernphysik | Thorsten Kröll | 13 Rate estimate and beam time request 2 H( 27 Na, 28 Na) 1 H @ 3 MeV/u … as first reaction of the programme - First transfer experiment with an odd-even nucleus @ REX-ISOLDE - Main physics aim: low-lying negative parity states  size of N=20 gap in 28 Na … explore the „shallow water around island of inversion“ Cross sections > 20 mb, target 5  m CD 2,  T-REX ≈ 62% and  MINIBALL ≈ 8%  400 protons/h (rate per populated state)  30 proton-  -coincidences/h (≈ 50 counts/peak in  -gated  -spectrum, V. Tripathi et al.)  3000 counts (  -gated protons) in 4 days T-REX divided in 10 angular bins  >100 counts/bin, <10% statistical error + 1 day for beam preparation We request 15 shifts (5 days) of beam time
