Abstract: The differential cross-sections of the 11B(d, α 0, α 2,p0) reactions for the determination of the depth distribution of boron in near-surface layers of materials have been determined in the projectile energy region E d,lab =900−1200keV. The experiment was carried out in energy steps of 25keV and for four detector angles between 140° and 170° (in steps of 10°). The obtained experimental data are suitable for Nuclear Reaction Analysis (NRA) studies. A qualitative discussion of the observed cross-section variations through the influence of broad resonances in the d+ 11B system is also presented. The results are also compared to data from literature, when present, and are validated through a benchmarking experiment using a high purity thick B4C target. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

Abstract: The first reaction spectroscopy on the ground state structure of 33Mg through the measurement of the longitudinal momentum distribution from the one-neutron removal reaction using a C target at is reported. The experiment was performed at the FRS, GSI. The distribution has a relatively narrow width ( (FWHM)) and the one-neutron removal cross-section is . An increased contribution from the orbital is required to explain the observation showing its lowering compared to existing model predictions. This provides new information regarding the configuration of 33Mg and the island of inversion. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
