Abstract
The neutron-rich Mn isotopes from to 63 have been studied through multi-nucleon transfer reactions by bombarding a target with a beam of at an energy of MeV. Prompt γ rays measured by the CLARA array have been identified unambiguously for each nucleus, using coincidence relationships with ions detected in the high-acceptance magnetic spectrometer PRISMA. The new data extends the knowledge of the low-lying level structure of Mn isotopes, which is discussed in terms of the systematics of the region. Results are compared with large-scale shell-model calculations using different effective interactions and valence spaces.
