The γ spectroscopy of 25, 27 Ne and 26, 27 Na was studied from the reaction of 26 Ne with a deuterium target in inverse kinematics at 9.7 MeV/nucleon. The selectivity of the (d,p), (d,t), and (d,n) transfer reactions provides new spectroscopic information on low-lying states. The validity of the sd shell-model space for these nuclei isdiscussed.

The spectroscopy of 27Ne has been investigated through the one-neutron transfer reaction 26Ne(d,p)27Ne in inverse kinematics at 9.7 MeV/nucleon. The results strongly support the existence of a low-lying negative parity state in 27Ne, which is a signature of a reduced sd-fp shell gap in the N=16 neutron-rich region, at variance with stable nuclei.

New accelerators like SPIRAL2 (GANIL, France) or FAIR (GSI, Germany) will be soon constructed, and they will be able to produce radioactive ion beams (RIB) with high intensities of current (≥106pps). These beams, at low energy, lower than 20 MeV/n, usually have high emittance, which imposes the use of tracking detectors before the target in...
