A08: Shell evolution towards the neutron drip line

A08: Shell evolution towards the neutron drip line

In project A08, we will search for excited 0+ states in ^28,30sup>Ne and ^34,36Mg around the island of inversion, the region where shape coexistence occurs frequently. As future experiments, we also plan to investigate the key regions around ⁴²Si, ⁵⁴Ca, ⁷⁸Ni, and ¹¹⁰Zr. A novel system consisting of a thick liquid hydrogen target and a silicon tracker allowing to perform the high-resolution in-beam gamma and missing-mass spectroscopy using (p,2p) reactions at RIBF, RIKEN, Japan will be developed. The prototype experiment to explore 4n and 6n states in ¹⁰He using the missing-mass technique will serve as an in-beam validation for the proposed setup.
