Structure of 10N via 9C+p Resonance Scattering
ORAL
Abstract
The study of $^{10}N$ through the reaction $^{9}C(p,p)^{9}C$ using a new time projection chamber (TexAT-P1) at the Cyclotron Institute at Texas A\&M University. Only one experiment before this study on $^{10}N$ has claimed to have observed the ground state. We build on this result by providing a spin-parity assignment of the ground state and low-lying excited states in $^{10}N$. The mirror nucleus, $^{10}Li$, is not well known and also has uncertainty its spin-parity assignments and excitation energies in low-lying states. This nucleus is important to study as it can help explain the two neutron halo nucleus $^{11}Li$ as its nuclear matter radius is as large as that of $^{208}Pb$.
