Matter radii of {sup 32-35}Mg

The interaction cross sections of {sup 32-35}Mg at 900A MeV have been measured using the fragment separator at GSI. The deviation from the r{sub 0}A{sup 1/3} trend is slightly larger for {sup 35}Mg, signaling the possible formation of a longer tail in the neutron distribution for {sup 35}Mg. The radii extracted from a Glauber model analysis with Fermi densities are consistent with models predicting the development of neutron skins.

Exploring the anomaly in the interaction cross section and matter radius of (23)O

New measurements of the interaction cross sections of {sup 22,23}O at 900A MeV performed at the GSI, Darmstadt are reported that address the unsolved puzzle of the large cross section previously observed for {sup 23}O. The matter radii for these oxygen isotopes extracted through a Glauber model analysis are in good agreement with the new predictions of the ab initio coupled-cluster theory reported here. They are consistent with a {sup 22}O + neutron description of {sup 23}O as well.

Spin-(5/2) fields in hadron physics

We show that the Lagrangian of a free spin-(5/2) field in the spinor-tensor representation with an auxiliary spinor field depends on three arbitrary parameters. The first two parameters are associated with the spin-(3/2) and spin-(1/2) sector of the theory while the last is related to the auxiliary degrees of freedom. We derive a corresponding propagator of the system which represents a (2x2) matrix in the (psi{sub m}u{sub n}u,xi) space. The diagonal terms stand for the propagation of the spin-(5/2) and auxiliary fields whereas the nondiagonal ones correspond to the psi{sub m}u{sub n}u-xi mixing. The resulting spin-(5/2) propagator contains nonpole contributions coming from the spin-(3/2) and spin-(1/2) sector of the spinor-tensor representation. A general form of the interaction vertex involving the spin-(5/2) field is discussed by the example of the piNN{sub (5/2)}* coupling. It is demonstrated that lower spin degrees of freedom can be removed from the theory by use of higher-order derivative coupling.

Study of the {sup 19}O states via the ({sup 7}Li,{sup 7}Be) reaction at 52 MeV

The {sup 19}F({sup 7}Li,{sup 7}Be){sup 19}O reaction at 52 MeV incident energy has been performed at INFN-LNS in Catania using the MAGNEX large acceptance spectrometer. The use of an algebraic ray-reconstruction technique has allowed to extract the {sup 19}O excitation energy spectrum and the experimental angular distributions. A theoretical analysis based on the Quasi-particle Random Phase Approximation has described the transitions to the 1p-1h states of the {sup 19}O, in close agreement with the experimental cross sections without using any scaling factor.
