dc.description.abstract |
<strong>Background:</strong> Odd-odd nuclei, around doubly closed shells, have been extensively used to study proton-neutron interactions. However, the evolution of these interactions as a function of the binding energy, ultimately when nuclei become unbound, is poorly known. The <sup>26</sup>F nucleus, composed of a deeply bound π0d<sub>5/2</sub> proton and an unbound ν0d<sub>3/2</sub> neutron on top of an <sup>24</sup>O core, is particularly adapted for this purpose. The coupling of this proton and neutron results in a J<sup>π</sup> = 1<sub>1</sub><sup>+</sup> − 4<sub>1</sub><sup>+</sup> multiplet, whose energies must be determined to study the influence of the proximity of the continuum on the corresponding proton-neutron interaction. The J<sup>π</sup> = 1<sub>1</sub><sup>+</sup>, 2<sub>1</sub><sup>+</sup>, 4<sub>1</sub><sup>+</sup> bound states have been determined, and only a clear identification of the J<sup>π</sup> = 3<sub>1</sub><sup>+</sup> is missing.<br /><strong>Purpose:</strong> We wish to complete the study of the J<sup>π</sup> = 1<sub>1</sub><sup>+</sup> − 4<sub>1</sub><sup>+</sup> multiplet in <sup>26</sup>F, by studying the energy and width of the J<sup>π</sup> = 3<sub>1</sub><sup>+</sup> unbound state. The method was first validated by the study of unbound states in <sup>25</sup>F, for which resonances were already observed in a previous experiment.<br /><strong>Method:</strong> Radioactive beams of <sup>26</sup>Ne and <sup>27</sup>Ne, produced at about 440A MeV by the fragment separator at the GSI facility were used to populate unbound states in <sup>25</sup>F and <sup>26</sup>F via one-proton knockout reactions on a CH<sub>2</sub> target, located at the object focal point of the R<sup>3</sup>B/LAND setup. The detection of emitted γ rays and neutrons, added to the reconstruction of the momentum vector of the A − 1 nuclei, allowed the determination of the energy of three unbound states in <sup>25</sup>F and two in <sup>26</sup>F.<br /><strong>Results:</strong> Based on its width and decay properties, the first unbound state in <sup>25</sup>F, at the relative energy of 49(9) keV, is proposed to be a J<sup>π</sup> = 1/2<sup>−</sup> arising from a p<sub>1/2</sub> proton-hole state. In <sup>26</sup>F, the first resonance at 323(33) keV is proposed to be the J<sup>π</sup> = 3<sub>1</sub><sup>+</sup> member of the J<sup>π</sup> = 1<sub>1</sub><sup>+</sup> − 4<sub>1</sub><sup>+</sup> multiplet. Energies of observed states in <sup>25,26</sup>F have been compared to calculations using the independent-particle shell model, a phenomenological shell model, and the ab initio valence-space in-medium similarity renormalization group method.<br /> <strong>Conclusions:</strong> The deduced effective proton-neutron interaction is weakened by about 30–40% in comparison to the models, pointing to the need for implementing the role of the continuum in theoretical descriptions or to a wrong determination of the atomic mass of <sup>26</sup>F. |
