Description
Doubly-magic exotic nuclei and their neighbours provide essential experimental data to better understand and describe the considerable reorganization of shell structure occurring away from the line of stability. In this context, single-particle properties of isotopes neighbouring the shell closures provide excellent test to guide and refine the latest theoretical developments. In particular, single-nucleon transfer reactions are one of the best tools available to selectively populate the states of interest and to investigate their structure.
Two specific cases will be briefly presented: low-lying neutron single-particle states in 79Zn populated in the 78Zn(d,p) reaction and neutron single-hole states in 131Sn populated in the 132Sn(d,t) reaction. Both measrurements were carried out using radioactive ISOL beams, respetively at ISOLDE, CERN and at HRIBF, ORNL.
