Background:The island of inversion near theshell gap is home to nuclei with reordered single-particle energy levels compared with the spherical shell model. Studies ofhave revealed that its ground state has a halo component characterized by a valence neutron orbiting a deformedcore. This lightly bound nucleus with a separation energy of onlykeV is expected to have excited states that are neutron unbound.Purpose:The purpose of this experiment was to investigate the low-lying excited states inthat decay by the emission of a single neutron.Methods:An 89 MeV/nucleonbeam impinged on a segmented Be reaction target. Neutron-unbound states inwere populated via a two-proton knockout reaction. Thefragment and associated neutron from the decay ofwere detected by the MoNA-LISA-Sweeper experimental setup at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory. Invariant-mass spectroscopy was used to reconstruct the two-body decay energy ().Results:The two-body decay energy spectrum exhibits two features: a low-lying peak atMeV and a broad enhancement atMeV, each fit with an energy-dependent asymmetric Breit-Wigner lineshape representing a resonance in the continuum. Accompanying shell-model calculations using the FSU interaction withinNuShellX, combined with cross-section calculations using the eikonal reaction theory, indicate that these peaks in the decay energy spectrum are caused by multiple resonant states in.Conclusions:Excited states inwere observed for the first time. Transitions from calculated shell-model final states into bound states inare in good agreement with the measured decay energy spectrum. Cross-section calculations for the two-proton knockout populatingstates as well as spectroscopic factors pertaining to the decay ofintoare used to examine the results within the context of the shell-model expectations.
