10–11Li and 13–14Be studied by projectile fragmentation and pp-RPA

Abstract

The level ordering in the unbound nuclei 10Li and 13Be is established on a firm basis using a time dependent projectile fragmentation model, comparing to experimental data and using structure inputs obtained from a semi-phenomenological core-vibration coupling model of two-neutron halo nuclei. The information on the shell ordering corresponds to the understanding of the neutron-core interaction. This is a building block of any three body model of borromean nuclei. As a consistency test we show that the energy spectra of some Beryllium isotopes obtained by using pp-RPA predict the same shell ordering as extracted from the reaction model vs. data analysis and that the well known structure of 11Li is reproduced.
