2. Momentum Distributions Why? To obtain cross sections based on LISE++ transmission calculations with parameters of momentum distribution model obtained from the current experiment “Classic: way: Brho scanning thin target New method: Brho = const Target thickness variation A new approach to measure momentum distributions and production cross sections of neutron rich nuclei using fragment separators O.T. et al.,NIM A 620, 578-584 (2010) 11th Conference on Nucleus-Nucleus Collisions
Momentum Distributions : Target scanning method 76Ge : 5 targets(max 3 isotopes for one element) 82Se : 7 targets (max 8 isotopes for one element) 76Ge analysis (2009) : point for fit in the middle of target or weights = const 2012 update : using weights F(vp,s) from the momentum distribution model with vp,s, ..which actually are fitted…… (!!!!) target middle More probable Based on vp & s 11th Conference on Nucleus-Nucleus Collisions

Qg- systematics 48Ca(140MeV/u) + W,Be A simple systematic framework was found to describe the production cross sections based on thermal evaporation from excited prefragments that allows extrapolation to other weak reaction products.

76Ge (130MeV/u) + W,Be : Qg- systematics O.T. et al. Phys.Rev.C. 80, 034609 (2009) The fact that the cross sections of the most neutron-rich nuclei with Z = 19 to 22 are enhanced relative to the lighter isotopes may indicate that these nuclei and their precursors are more bound than predicted and is reminiscent of the discovery of the island of inversion at N = 20.

Islands of inversion • Particle-hole excitations across a shell gap into the next higher oscillator shell can become energetically favored if stabilized by deformation and pairing correlations [1]. [1] “Isotope Science Facility at Michigan State University”,MSUCL-1345, 11-2006 • Strong quadrupole deformations have been observed in the neutron-rich nuclei around N = 20 [2,3], [2] D. Guillemaud-Mueller et al., Nucl. Phys. A426, 37 (1984). [3] T. Motobayashi et al., Phys. Lett. B 346, 9 (1995). • and around N = 8 [4,5]. [4] A. Navin et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 85, 266 (2000). [5] H. Iwasaki et al., Phys. Lett. B 481, 7 (2000). Figure: Measured 12Be (N = 8) and 31Na (N = 20) and predicted (N=40) islands of inversion across the neutron-rich side of the nuclear chart. [1]. • Such an anomalous deformation is suggested to appear in the heavier region around N = 40 (62Ti [6], 64Cr [7]). [6] B.A. Brown, Prog. Part. Nucl. Phys. 47, 517 (2001) [7] S.M.

Search for the new island of inversion The observation of low-energy 2+ states in 60,62Cr suggests that these isotopes are strongly deformed O. Sorlin et al., Eur. Phys. J. A 16, 55 (2003) The large experimental R4/2 ratio of 62Cr is an indication for the development of deformation: N. Aoi et al., PRL 102, 012502 (2009) Evidence for increased collectivity at N = 40 in neutron-rich 64Cr A.Gade et al., Phys. Rev. C 81, 051304 (2010) 11th Conference on Nucleus-Nucleus Collisions
