  1. Sonja Orrigo Correlation effects and continuum spectroscopy in light exotic nuclei Unbound Nuclei Workshop, Pisa, Italy, November 3-5, 2008

  2. Contents • Physical scenario: light exotic nuclei • Correlations effects and continuum spectroscopy • DCP correlations: Fano resonances • Experimental results on 11Be and 15C via CEX reactions • Pairing correlations in the continuum • Transfer reactions to unbound states: 9Li(d,p)10Li • Summary and conclusions

  3. Why correlation effects in light exotic nuclei? Peculiar conditions: • Large charge asymmetry • Weak binding of valence n • Proximity of s.p. continuum isovector interaction low density (halos) open quantum systems • Dissolution of shell structures • Influence of correlation dynamics light n-rich nuclei

  4. Continuum spectroscopy of light exotic nuclei • Two topics: • 15C: weakly-bound Sn = 1218 keV • effects due to the DCP correlation dynamics Fano Resonances • 10Li: n-unbound by 25 keV • effects due to pairing correlations • continuum spectroscopy by one-neutron transfer s.p. excitations • Dynamical Core Polarization • (DCP) correlations • Pairing correlations • Important to investigate their effects in the low-energy continuum

  5. Contents • Physical scenario: light exotic nuclei • Correlations effects and continuum spectroscopy • DCP correlations: Fano resonances • Experimental results on 11Be and 15C via CEX reactions • Pairing correlations in the continuum • Transfer reactions to unbound states: 9Li(d,p)10Li • Summary and conclusions

Fano interference Fano interference quantum-mechanical interaction between discrete and continuous configurations asymmetric line shape • Originally detected in atomic spectra • 1960’s, Fano: first model for atomic states excited in theinelastic scattering e--atoms Typical for interacting many-body systems at all scales !

  8. Fano Resonances in nuclear physics Bound States Embedded in the Continuum (BSEC) • BSEC: narrow resonances in the continuum (Ex > Sn) • DCP model: BSEC as quasi-bound core-excited configurations • Experimental signature of the DCP correlations G.Baur and H.Lenske, Nucl.

  38. Summary • Fano resonancescan be expected to be of particular importance for the continuum dynamics of exotic nuclei • The coupled channels model extends the QPC into the continuum: the interference between open 1-QP and closed 3-QP ch. gives sharp and asymmetric resonances (G→V13) • The calculations performed for 15C, 17C, 19C show increased effects of correlations • Exp. evidence of DCP correlations in the 15C spectra, qualitatively reproduced by theoretical calculations, and in the 11Be and 19O spectra • Transfer reactions are a powerful tool to do continuum spectroscopy in exotic nuclei • Innovations of the DWBA approach: to treat unbound final states and to calculate d2s/dWdE • Calculations performed for the d(9Li,10Li)p reaction at ELi = 2.36 and 20 AMeV • 10Li continuum: p1/2-resonance at ~400 keV and p3/2-pairing resonance at~850 keV in very good agreement with experimental data • Same behaviour of selastic and stransfer: same structure Sa(E) • Correlation: spectral distributions ↔ n-9Li interaction (sensitivity to the halo tail)

  39. Summary • Pairing in unbound nuclear states explored in terms of an extended MF approach • Paring effects may introduce pronounced structures and shifts in the low-energy continuum of all the channels • Configuration mixing acts at the MF level, but mechanisms similar to the mixing due to dynamical correlations Analogy: Configuration Mixing due to 15C continuum = n+14C, BSEC = n+14C* core polarization (DCP) 10Li continuum = n+9Li unbound, (particle-hole) pairing correlations (MF-level) ☺ Thank you for your attention ☺
