Inverse-kinematics Proton Scattering from 51Ca
POSTER
Abstract
We have studied 51Ca using inverse kinematics proton scattering. The experiment was run at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory (NSCL) using the GRETINA gamma-ray tracking array and the Ursinus College/NSCL liquid hydrogen target. We used geant4 simulations to extract gamma-ray intensities from the measured gamma-ray spectrum. The reaction populated five excited states of 51Ca. We observed a new gamma ray with an energy of 3950 keV. Preliminary results will be discussed.
