Abstract
We have studied the C-15(d, p)C-16 reaction in inverse kinematics using the Helical Orbit Spectrometer at Argonne National Laboratory. Prior studies of electromagnetic-transition rates in C-16 suggested an exotic decoupling of the valence neutrons from the core in that nucleus. Neutron-adding spectroscopic factors give a different probe of the wave functions of the relevant states in C-16. Shell-model calculations reproduce both the present transfer data and the previously measured transition rates, suggesting that C-16 may be described without invoking very exotic phenomena.
