Background: Obtaining reaction rates for nuclear astrophysics applications is often limited by
the availability of radioactive beams. Indirect techniques to establish reaction rates often rely …

The effect of pair correlations in a particle-rotor model description of sd shell nuclei has been
investigated. The BCS approximation is found to be appropriate provided thata sufficient …

We present models for 23Na and 23Mg nuclei considered in terms of the cluster structures
12C+ 11B and 12C+ 11C, respectively. The model assumes that the two subnuclei interact …

States in Na 23 were populated using the C 12 (N 15, α) reaction. Excitation functions were
measured in the energy range E cm= 9.51− 17.33 MeV for 41 states in Na 23 from 0 to 12.2 …

Abstract The C 12 (C 12, p) reaction, at a bombarding energy of 39.0 MeV, has been used to
locate candidates for high-spin states. Angular distributions and angle-integrated cross …

Differential cross sections for the Mg 25 (C 12, Be 9) reaction were measured at θ L= 10, 1 5,
20 for bombarding energies near 100 and 120 MeV. These data are consistent with direct …

Previously proposed high spin states in Na 2 2, 2 3 are compared with calculations from the
cranked Nilsson model including Strutinsky renormalization. High K rotational isomers are …

Isospin formalism, which describes the neutron and the proton as two states of the same
particle, the nucleon, is one of the essential descriptive tools of a broad range of nuclear …

The nuclear structure of 23Na has been studied by means of the 20Ne (α, p) reaction at Eα=
39.5 MeV. Differential cross sections were measured over an angular range from≈ 7° to≈ …

The reaction 19F (6Li, d) 23Na has been studied at a beam energy of 34 MeV using a high
resolution magnetic spectrometer. A total of 36 states in 23Na have been observed in the …
