Presented at the Zakopane Conference on Nuclear Physics “Extremes of the Nuclear Landscape”, Zakopane, Poland, August 27–September 2, 2012.-- et al., The quasi-elastic scattering angular distribution of the collision 11Be + 64Zn was measured and compared with the elastic scattering angular distribution for its core, the 10Be nucleus on the same target. Optical model and continuum-discretized coupled-channel calculations of the 11Be+64Zn reaction were performed in order to interpret the effect of coupling with the break-up channels on the measured cross-sections.

Absolute branching ratios to unbound states in C12 populated in the β decays of N12 and B12 are reported. Clean sources of N12 and B12 were obtained using the isotope separation on-line (ISOL) method. The relative branching ratios to the different populated states were extracted using single-alpha as well as complete kinematics triple-alpha spectra. These two largely independent methods give consistent results. Absolute normalization is achieved via the precisely known absolute branching ratio to the bound 4.44 MeV state in C12. The extracted branching ratios to the unbound states are a factor of three more precise than previous measurements. Branching ratios in the decay of Na20 are also extracted and used to check the results. © 2009 The American Physical Society., Supported by the Academy of Finland (Project No. 44875), by the Spanish Agency CICYT (Nos.

4 pages, 4 figures.-- PACS nrs.: 21.10.-k, 21.10.Hw, 25.55.-e, 27.20.+n., We have studied C-12 in full kinematics via the B-10(He-3,pααα) reaction at an energy of 2.45 MeV. In our data we have identified states in C-12 from the ground state up to about 18 MeV, with spins ranging from 0 to 4. Due to the very good resolution, we are able to determine properties of these C-12 resonances, such as their energy, width, and spin. In this contribution preliminary results from the ongoing analysis are presented. Main focus on the precise determination of the breakup spectra for all resonances., This work has been made possible by the CSIC I3P program, and is supported by the European Union under the Sixth framework project EURONS-contract No. 506065.

6 pages, 3 tables, 3 figures.-- Printed version published Mar 30, 2006.-- PACS nrs.: 25.60.Je; 25.45.Hi; 27.20.+n.-- et al., The one-neutron transfer reaction Li-9 + H-2 -> Li-8 + t has been investigated in an inverse kinematics experiment by bombarding a deuterated polypropylene target with a 2.36 MeV/u Li-9 beam from the post-accelerator REX-ISOLDE at CERN. Excitation energies in Li-8 as well as angular distributions of the tritons were obtained and spectroscopic factors deduced., This work has been supported by the European Union Fifth Framework under contract No. HPRI-CT-1999-00018, the BMBF under contract 06 DA 115, GSI under contract DA-RIC, partly by the Spanish CICYT Agency under the project number FPA2002-04181-c04-02 as well as by the ISOLDE collaboration.

5 pages, 2 tables, 3 figures.--PACS nrs.: 23.40.Hc; 27.20.+n., The beta decay of O-13 has been studied at the IGISOL facility of the Jyvaskyla accelerator centre (Finland). By developing a low-energy isotope-separated beam of O-13 and using a modern segmented charged-particle detector array an improved measurement of the delayed proton spectrum was possible. Protons with energy up to more than 12 MeV are measured and the corresponding log(ft) values extracted. A revised decay scheme is constructed. The connection to molecular states and the shell model is discussed., This work was supported by the Academy of Finland under the Finnish Centre of Excellence Programme 2000–2005 (Project No. 44875, Nuclear and Condensed Matter Physics Programme at JYFL), by the European Union Fifth Framework Programme “Improving Human Potential - Access to Research Infrastructure” contract no.
