Measurement of Elastic Scattering Angular Distributions for Proton-Rich Nuclei 21,22Na on Double-Magic Nucleus 40Ca
Open Access
Abstract
Present and future rare isotope accelerator facilities provide new opportunities to explore the structure of unstable nuclei. We report the measurements of the elastic scattering angular distributions of 21Na and 22Na on the doubly magic 40Ca above the Coulomb barrier energies, using high-purity post-accelerated ISOL beams from Beijing Radioactive Ion Beam Facility (BRIF). Angular distributions were measured with a silicon detector telescope array, and relative cross sections were determined with a CaF2 target on Au backing. The data were well reproduced by optical model calculations with Woods–Saxon and USNP potentials, the latter giving better agreement. These results confirm the stable operation and performance of the BRIF ISOL production and post-acceleration system, demonstrate its capability to provide radioactive beams of useful intensity and purity for future investigations of reaction dynamics and astrophysically relevant processes involving proton-rich nuclei, and simultaneously extend proton-rich elastic scattering studies to heavier systems.Keywords
