Abstract
Absolute cross sections for the addition of s- and d-wave neutrons to C14 and N14 have been determined simultaneously via the (d,p) reaction at 10 MeV/u. The difference between the neutron and proton separation energies, ΔS, is around -20 MeV for the C14+n system and +8 MeV for N14+n. The population of the 1s1/2 and 0d5/2 orbitals for both systems is reduced by a factor of approximately 0.5 compared with the independent single-particle model, or about 0.6 when compared with the shell model. This finding strongly contrasts with results deduced from intermediate-energy knockout reactions between similar nuclei on targets of Be9 and C12. The simultaneous technique used removes many systematic uncertainties.
