Structure of Mg-33 sheds new light on the N=20 island of inversion
Journal article, 2010

The first reaction spectroscopy oil the ground state structure of Mg-33 through the measurement of the longitudinal momentum distribution from the one-neutron removal reaction Using a C target at 898A MeV is reported The experiment was performed at the FRS, GSI The distribution has a relatively narrow width (150 +/- 3 MeV/c (FWHM)) and the one-neutron removal cross-section is 74 +/- 4 mb An increased contribution from the (2)p(3/2) orbital is required to explain the observation showing its lowering compared to existing model predictions This provides new information regarding the configuration of Mg-33 and the island of inversion (C) 2010 Elsevier B V All rights reserved
