The appearance of a subshell closure in $^{56}$Cr (N=32) is confirmed by high excitation energy of the 2$^{+}_{1}$ state and reduced B(E2;2$^{+}_{1}\rightarrow$0$^{+}_{1}$) but shell model calculations do not reproduce the drop of collectivity at N=32.
The discrepancy between the experimental data and the theoretical calculations for $^{56}$Cr may be as a result of coexisting shapes in this...
Multinucleon transfer (MNT) reactions provide a powerful approach to access exotic neutron-rich nuclei. Excited reaction products have been measured in $^{136}\text{Xe}$ + $^{208}\text{Pb}$ at 1 GeV with the high-resolution $\gamma$-ray tracking array AGATA coupled to the mass spectrometer PRISMA at LNL (INFN, Italy) positioned at the grazing angle. For the beam-like fragments, energy E,...
In December 2022, an experiment was performed at INFN-LNL with a $^{208}$Pb beam at 1300 MeV impinging on a $^{9}$Be target, using the inverse kinematics fusion-fission reaction for both nuclear structure and reactions studies. The experiment was performed using the AGATA $\gamma$-ray tracking array coupled to the magnetic spectrometer PRISMA [1-3].
This setup allowed one to measure the...
