摘要
Excited states in the neutron-rich N = 38, 36 nuclei Ti-60 and Ti-58 were populated in nucleon-removal reactions from V-61 projectiles at 90 MeV/nucleon. The gamma-ray transitions from such states in these Ti isotopes were detected with the advanced gamma-ray tracking array GRETINA and were corrected event by event for large Doppler shifts (nu/c similar to 0.4) using the gamma-ray interaction points deduced from online signal decomposition. The new data indicate that a steep decrease in quadrupole collectivity occurs when moving from neutron- rich N = 36, 38 Fe and Cr toward the Ti and Ca isotones. In fact, Ti-58,Ti- 60 provide some of the most neutron-rich benchmarks accessible today for calculations attempting to determine the structure of the potentially doubly magic nucleus Ca-60.
