Times Cited Count:25 Percentile:96.89(Physics, Multidisciplinary)A quasifree (,
) experiment was performed to study the structure of the Borromean nucleus
B, which had long been considered to have a neutron halo. By analyzing the momentum distributions and exclusive cross sections, we obtained the spectroscopic factors for
and
orbitals, and a surprisingly small percentage of 9(2)% was determined for
. Our finding of such a small
component and the halo features reported in prior experiments can be explained by the deformed relativistic Hartree-Bogoliubov theory in continuum, revealing a definite but not dominant neutron halo in
B. The present work gives the smallest
- or
-orbital component among known nuclei exhibiting halo features and implies that the dominant occupation of
or
orbitals is not a prerequisite for the occurrence of a neutron halo.

clusters at the surface of neutron-rich tin isotopes. The observed monotonous decrease of the reaction cross sections with increasing mass number, in excellent agreement with the theoretical prediction, implies a tight interplay between
-cluster formation and the neutron skin.

Times Cited Count:4 Percentile:56.79(Physics, Nuclear)The spallation and fragmentation reactions of Xe induced by proton, deuteron and carbon at 168 MeV/nucleon were studied at RIKEN Radioactive Isotope Beam Factory via the inverse kinematics technique. The cross sections of the lighter products are larger in the carbon-induced reactions due to the higher total kinetic energy of carbon. The energy dependence was investigated by comparing the newly obtained data with previous results obtained at higher reaction energies. The experimental data were compared with the results of SPACS, EPAX, PHITS and DEURACS calculations. These data serve as benchmarks for the model calculations.

Times Cited Count:10 Percentile:74.3(Physics, Multidisciplinary)The structure of a neutron-rich F nucleus is investigated by a quasifree (
) knockout reaction. The sum of spectroscopic factors of
orbital is found to be 1.0
0.3. The result shows that the
O core of
F nucleus significantly differs from a free
O nucleus, and the core consists of
35%
O
, and
65% excited
O. The result shows that the
O core of
F nucleus significantly differs from a free
O nucleus. The result may infer that the addition of the
proton considerably changes the neutron structure in
F from that in
O, which could be a possible mechanism responsible for the oxygen dripline anomaly.

Times Cited Count:7 Percentile:59.11(Physics, Multidisciplinary)Searching for effective pathways for the production of proton- and neutron-rich isotopes through an optimal combination of reaction mechanism and energy is one of the main driving forces behind experimental and theoretical nuclear reaction studies as well as for practical applications in nuclear transmutation of radioactive waste. We report on a study on incomplete fusion induced by deuteron, which contains one proton and one neutron with a weak binding energy and is easily broken up. This reaction study was achieved by measuring directly the cross sections for both proton and deuteron for Pd at 50 MeV/u via inverse kinematics technique. The results provide direct experimental evidence for the onset of a cross-section enhancement at high energy, indicating the potential of incomplete fusion induced by loosely-bound nuclei for creating proton-rich isotopes and nuclear transmutation of radioactive waste.
