Abstract

Diverse means are used to investigate the spectra of the radioactive, exotic ions, 17,19C. First, estimates have been made using a shell model for the systems. Information from those shell model studies were then used in evaluating cross sections of the scattering of 70A MeV 17,19C ions from hydrogen. Complementing those studies, a multichannel algebraic scattering (MCAS) theory for n+16,18C coupled-channel problems has been used to identify structures of the compound systems. The results show that the shell model structure assumed for these ions is reasonable with little need of effective charges. The conditions that two excited states exist within a few hundred keV of the ground state places some restriction upon the structure models. Other positive parity states are expected in the low-lying spectra of the two nuclei.

      This article contains also a discussion of the Multi-Channel Algebraic Scattering (MCAS) approach, that has been used to calculate the spectra given in Ref. [6]. The approach has been used before for determining spectra, resonances and nucleon cross sections of several nuclei in the range of mass-13 [7], mass-15 [8], mass-7 [9], and mass-17/19 [10]. Essential aspects of these calculations, such as the treatment of the Pauli principle, the use of core deformation in the treatment of channel couplings, the role of the coupled-channel scattering orbits in the calculation of the resonance widths, and the connection with shell-model studies are discussed in detail.
