Abstract

The odd-odd nucleus ³⁰Na is studied via a one-proton, one-proton-one-neutron and one-neutron removal reaction using an intermediate-energy ³¹Mg, ³²Mg and ³¹Na radioactive ion beam, respectively. Combining high-resolution γ-ray spectroscopy with the selectivity of the three reaction mechanisms, we are able to distinguish multiple particle-hole configurations. Negative-parity states in ³⁰Na are observed for the first time, providing an important measure of the excitation of the 1p1h/3p3h configuration and hence the sd-pf shell gap. The extracted band structures and level energies serve as invaluable input for the theoretical refinement of the effective interactions used in this region.
