Highlights

  • Fragmentation reactions are widely used to investigate the structure and dynamics of the atomic nucleus [1]

  • We measured 135 cross sections of residual nuclei produced in fragmentation reactions of 12C, 14N, and 13−16,20,22O projectiles impinging on a carbon target at kinetic energies of near 400A MeV, most of them for the first time, with the R 3B/LAND setup at the GSI facility in Darmstadt (Germany)

  • In this paper we present a rather complete set of production cross sections of isotopically separated residual nuclei produced in fragmentation reactions induced by 12C, 14N, and several oxygen isotopes covering a large range in neutron excess with typical energies near 400A MeV, impinging on a carbon target

Summary

INTRODUCTION

Fragmentation reactions are widely used to investigate the structure and dynamics of the atomic nucleus [1]. In this paper we present a rather complete set of production cross sections of isotopically separated residual nuclei produced in fragmentation reactions induced by 12C, 14N, and several oxygen isotopes covering a large range in neutron excess with typical energies near 400A MeV, impinging on a carbon target. The measurements were done with the R3B/LAND setup [39], providing at the same time large acceptance for most of the produced fragments and their unambiguous isotopic identification from the determination of their magnetic rigidity, energy loss, and time of flight These measurements have been used to investigate single-particle state occupancy by taking advantage of quasifree scattering reactions in inverse kinematics [40,41,42,43,44,45,46,47,48,49,50,51,52]. IV we summarize the main results and present the conclusions of this paper
