Evolution of Spectroscopic Factors in Neutron-deficient p-shell Nuclei in connection with Short-Range Correlations
Abstract
We report an uncertainty-controlled determination of neutron-removal spectroscopic factors in the neutron-deficient p-shell nuclei 12C, 10C, 9C, and 8B, all measured under uniform conditions through exclusive ground-state-to-ground-state (p,d) reactions at about 50 MeV/nucleon in a liquid hydrogen target at the GANIL/LISE facility. The deuterons were detected in the highly-segmented MUST2 detector placed at forward angles and the excitation energy was reconstructed by the missing mass method. Several transitions, including a new state in 7B, were observed. Differential cross sections, which display an L=1 pattern for all nuclei, were fitted with 416 sets of uncertainty-quantified optical-model potential parameters and considering various single-particle bound-state wavefunctions to derive C2S values. The ratio between experimental and shell-model calculated values, RS, is found to be slightly decreasing as a function of increasing proton to neutron separation energy asymmetry ΔS, with a slope of −0.0049(36)stat(13)omp(8)s.p.. The observed trend is compatible with the phenomenological expectation that the short-range correlation effect on C2S increases with the degree of nucleon minority. The present data set delivers a high-precision benchmark that will tightly constrain future microscopic descriptions of short-range correlations in asymmetric nuclei.
