Coulomb breakup of drip-liners
Abstract
Description
We show how to derive nuclear structure information on loosely bound nuclei far from the beta stability line from their Coulomb dissociation into the continuum. The 19C -> 18C + n process is taken as an example and it is shown that basic properties such as ground-state spin and parity and the neutron binding energy of the halo nucleus 19C can be derived from a comparison of theoretical calculations to experimental data.
