Abstract

The 18O+48Ti reaction was studied at the energy of 275 MeV for the ﬁrst time under the NUMEN and NURE experimental campaigns with the aim to investigate the complete net of reaction channels potentially involved in the 48Ca→48Ti double charge exchange transition. Such a transition is of great interest because of its relevance to the extraction of 48Ca→48Ti double beta decay nuclear matrix element. The relevant experiment was carried out at the MAGNEX facility of INFN-LNS in Catania. Angular distribution measurements for the various reaction products were performed by using the MAGNEX large acceptance magnetic spectrometer. The present contribution is focused on the analysis of the one-proton transfer channel with emphasis on the particle identiﬁcation technique and the estimation of background contaminations.

Highlights

The interest of the Nuclear Physics community for the Double Charge Exchange (DCE) reactions is still vivid due to their possible relation with the double beta decay [1]
A novel idea has been recently conceived at Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare – Laboratori Nazionali del Sud (INFN-LNS), under the NUMEN (NUclear Matrix Elements for Neutrinoless double beta decay) project [2]
NURE project [5], the 18O+48Ti reaction was investigated by measuring the DCE channel, and Single Charge Exchange (SCE) and multi-step transfer reactions which may lead to the same final states as the DCE one

Summary

Introduction

The interest of the Nuclear Physics community for the Double Charge Exchange (DCE) reactions is still vivid due to their possible relation with the double beta (ββ) decay [1] Into this context, a novel idea has been recently conceived at Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare – Laboratori Nazionali del Sud (INFN-LNS), under the NUMEN (NUclear Matrix Elements for Neutrinoless double beta decay) project [2]. A novel idea has been recently conceived at Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare – Laboratori Nazionali del Sud (INFN-LNS), under the NUMEN (NUclear Matrix Elements for Neutrinoless double beta decay) project [2] This is to use for the first time DCE reactions induced by heavy-ion beams as a mean for the.
