Abstract

Neutron decay spectroscopy of neutron-rich oxygen isotopes has been performed using the two-proton knock-out reaction 9Be( 26Ne, X) 24,23,22O. A combination of the knock-out of valence and core protons can explain the three observed spectra. These knock-out processes are selective and preferentially populate hole states. The observed narrow resonance state in 23O at an excitation energy of 2.8(1) MeV was assigned to the 5 / 2 + state.
