In the experiment on proton inelastic scattering of He-8 at 8.25A MeV at TRIUMF, a resonance at 3.54 MeV with a large deformation parameter beta(2) = 0.40(3) was discovered, consistent with predictions of neutron deformation. This reveals a new paradigm of deformed double-closed shell at the neutron drip-line.
A measurement of proton inelastic scattering of He-8 at 8.25A MeV at TRIUMF shows a resonance at 3.54(6) MeV with a width of 0.89(11) MeV. The energy of the state is in good agreement with coupled cluster and no-core shell model with continuum calculations, with the latter successfully describing the measured resonance width as well. Its differential cross section analyzed with phenomenological collective excitation form factor and microscopic coupled reaction channels framework consistently reveals a large deformation parameter beta(2) = 0.40(3), consistent with no-core shell model predictions of a large neutron deformation. This deformed double-closed shell at the neutron drip-line opens a new paradigm. (C) 2021 Published by Elsevier B.V.
