Single proton knock-out reactions from 24,25,26F -: art. no. 044318

The cross sections of the single proton knock-out reactions from F-24, F-25, and F-26 on a C-12 target were measured at energies of about 50 MeV/nucleon. Ground state populations of 6.6+/-0.9 mb, 3.8+/-0.6 mb for the reactions C-12(F-24, O-23) and C-12(F-25, O-24) were extracted, respectively. The data were compared to calculations based on the many-body shell model and the eikonal theory. In the reaction C-12(F-26, O-25) the particle instability of O-25 was confirmed.
