54fe(D,P)55fe Single Neutron Transfer Presentation, Matthew Quirin, Raymond Saunders
Physics and Astronomy Presentations
During our summer research at the John D Fox Laboratory, we used the 9 MV Tandem van de Graaff accelerator and the Super Enge Split-Pole Spectrograph to make measurements of the neutron transfer reaction 54Fe(d,p) 55Fe to observe and explore excited states of 55Fe and shell structure beyond the magic number N=28. We have created momentum spectra and angular distribution plots of the protons from the reaction which will be analyzed to determine the angular momentum values of states and single-neutron energies in 55Fe in an effort to better understand nuclear structure.

Single-Neutron Transfer To 50ti, Jessica Nebel-Crosson

This is a continuation of the data analysis of a neutron-transfer reaction with 50Ti, in which the data was collected in 2019 and this analysis focuses on automating the calibration and peak fits for the generated spectra. Future work will continue with producing angular distributions for the rest of the excitation states and further analyzation in order to draw conclusions about single-neutron state structures.

Current theory regarding the collective behavior of exotic nuclei systematically over-predicts the probabilities of exciting those collective states. The theory lacks any adjustable parameters, however, the model inputs are characteristics of single particle states which we are attempting to verify through neutron transfer into a 50Ti target.

Inverse Kinematics Proton Scattering Of P41, Benjamin R. Klybor
Physics and Astronomy Summer Fellows
We have measured the gamma-ray spectrum of P41 using proton scattering in inverse kinematics with the NSCL/Ursinus College liquid hydrogen target and the GRETINA gamma-ray tracking array. We present preliminary results, including gamma-ray intensities and branching ratios.
