Study of the levels in $^{12}$N using the $^{14}$N(p,t) reaction with JENSA

ORAL

Abstract

Based on consideration of the isobaric analogues $^{12}$B and $^{12}$C, the experimental information on $^{12}$N is incomplete, with a number of inconsistencies between the compilations and the results of individual studies. As one of a series of commissioning physics measurements to demonstrate the benefit of the new Jet Experiments in Nuclear Structure and Astrophysics (JENSA) gas jet target for enabling next-generation transfer reaction studies, the $^{14}$N(p,t)$^{12}$N reaction was studied using a pure 300 psig jet of nitrogen, in order to help elucidate the structure of $^{12}$N. The experiment and results will be discussed.
