Nuclear structure study of ^{19,21}N nuclei by γ spectroscopy (original) (raw)

The study focuses on the nuclear structure of neutron-rich nitrogen isotopes, specifically ^{19}N and ^{21}N, utilizing γ spectroscopy to gather spectroscopic information. By performing neutron removal reactions and inelastic scattering experiments, mass and charge deformations were deduced, revealing a partial persistence of the N = 14 subshell closure. The experimental setup, conducted at the RIKEN Nishina Center, involved detailed analysis of the produced isotopes and the measurement of γ rays emitted during reactions with hydrogen and lead targets.
