The Puzzle of the <sup>13</sup>Be
ORAL
Abstract
The structure of 13Be is of significant scientific importance since it offers insights on the evolution of the N=8 shell gap, the influence of the continuum, the nature of the neutron-drip line nuclei and the Borromean 14Be nucleus. Despite the considerable experimental work performed in the past, the position and ordering of the low-lying states remains uncertain. Consequently, we performed a transfer reaction experiment at ISAC II, TRIUMF using the 12Be(d,p)13Be reaction. The beam at 9.5 AMeV interacted with the IRIS solid D2 target. The data are currently being analyzed and the preliminary results on the 13Be low-lying states will be presented here.
