Investigating halo features with the $^{11}$Be(p, d)$^{10}$Be$^*$ transfer reaction at 110 MeV at TRIUMF-ISAC II
ORAL
Abstract
To simultaneously study the halo wavefunction of the $^{11}$Be ground-state, and also possible excited halo states in $^{10}$Be, the $^{11}$Be(p, d)$^{10}$Be$^*$ reaction was studied at 10 MeV/nucleon at TRIUMF-ISAC II. This one-neutron transfer reaction allows the study of the single-particle states in $^{11}$Be and in $^{10}$Be by removing either the halo neutron or a core neutron respectively. A compact silicon array along with the TRIUMF ISAC Gamma-Ray Escape-Suppressed Spectrometer (TIGRESS) was used to detect the outgoing deuteron in coincidence with gamma-rays to determine the final state of the $^{10}$Be nucleus. Results from the May 2013 experiment will be shown.
