Abstract
The nucleus is situated at the border of the island of inversion. Despite significant efforts, no bound low-lying intruder state, which would place firmly inside the island of inversion, has yet been observed. Here, the first investigation of unbound states of is reported. The states were populated in and reactions at a beam energy of around 230 MeV/nucleon, and analyzed in terms of their resonance properties, partial cross sections, and momentum distributions. The momentum distributions are compared to calculations using the eikonal, direct reaction model, allowing assignments for the observed states. The lowest-lying resonance at an excitation energy of 1.48(4) MeV shows clear signs of a significant component, giving first evidence for single particle strength in . The excitation energies and strengths of the observed states are compared to shell-model calculations using the sdpf-u-mix interaction.
