Structure of the exotic nucleus B-34 in the ground state - art. no. 017303

We investigate the structure of the neutron rich nucleus B-14 through studi es of its breakup in the Coulomb field of a heavy target. The breakup ampli tude is calculated within an adiabatic as well as finite range distorted wa ve Born approximation theories of breakup reactions. Both these formalisms allow the use of realistic wave functions for the relative motion between t he fragments in the ground state of the projectile. The longitudinal moment um distributions of B-13 (ground state) following the breakup of B-14 on a heavy target at beam energy of 60 MeV/nucleon, calculated using two possibl e ground state configurations of B-14, have been compared with the recent d ata. The data seem to favor B-13(3/2(-))x 2s(1/2) as the possible ground st ate configuration of B-14 with a spectroscopic factor close to unity. We gi ve our predictions for the exclusive neutron angular distributions and the relative energy spectra in the one-neutron removal reaction of B-14.
