Abstract
-ray decays from excited states in and inclusive and exclusive cross sections were measured in the (,) two-proton knockout reaction at incident beam energies of and MeV/nucleon. The measured cross section is suppressed compared to calculations and is indicative of a reduced overlap of initial and final state wave functions in and . We interpret this reduction as due to large amplitudes present in the ground state wave function, but not . Such large intruder components are predicted to help stabilize the heavier fluorine isotopes against neutron emission.
