Summary on Grant Application Form |

It has recently become possible to perform spectroscopic studies on light, very neutron rich nuclei using nucleon transfer reactions, and we have measured some of the first data of this type for the reaction p(11Be, d) 10Be. The analysis will require detailed ray-tracing procedures and simulated efficiency calculations that have not previously been employed at Surrey, and also the development of new techniques. These data provide a prototypical case that we plan to use to design improved experiments for the future.The Fellow will assist us in implementing ray tracing and beam tracking for the GANIL systems into our analysis codes, working closely with Dr Neil Curtis (RAIA) and a Ph.D. student. The analysis will concentrate on the observables measured in the CHARISSA array in coincidence with the SPEG spectrometer, and especially the effects of the large emittance for the radioactive beam. The analysis will include Monte Carlo kinematics calculations with explicit allowance for experimental variables. The fellow will travel for discussions with our UK collaborators to help formulate solutions. We propose then to concentrate specifically on designing a study of the reaction p(12Be, d)11Be using the S800 spectrometer at MSU, which would build on our existing experience and pave the way for future work, including experiments at the SPIRAL facility in France.
