Title:     Quasi-Free Scattering From Neutron-Deficient Carbon Isotopes

Abstract: Quasi-Free Scattering from Relativistic Neutron-Deficient Carbon Isotopes

Single nucleon knockout and quasi-free scattering reactions are valuable tools to study single-particle properties of nuclei [1]. Particularly, it has been argued, that they can be used to study spectroscopic factors on an absolute scale [2]. Quenching of these spectroscopic factors as compared to shell-model predictions has been observed in nuclear knockout reactions [3]. While for stable isotopes these findings are in agreement with results obtained in quasi-free electron scattering [1,4], a surprisingly large dependancy of this quenching on the neutron-proton asymmetry has been observed, motivating further studies using quasi-free proton scattering. 

Quasi-free scattering from the neutron-deficient carbon isotopes 10C and 11C has been studied in inverse kinematics during experiment S393 at the GSI Helmholtz Centre for Heavy Ion Physics. A 40Ar beam, accelerated to 490AMeV by the SIS18 heavy ion synchrotron, was incident on a production target at the entrance of the fragment separator FRS, and the resulting cocktail beam including 10C and 11C was then transported to the R3B-LAND setup. Here, the incoming beam as well as all reaction products were detected in a kinematically complete measurement. 

Results for cross sections, spectroscopic factors and momentum distributions will be shown and compared to results obtained for knockout reactions as well as DWIA-calculations. Furthermore, excitation spectra of the reaction products will be discussed.
