Description
The aim of this letter of intent is to study the structure of 46Ca via the lifetime measurements of the low-lying excited states. Particularly, the lifetime of 2_1+, 4_1+ and 0_2+ states will represent a crucial result to investigate the structure of the competing low-lying configurations, shedding light on the phenomenon of shape coexistence, already established in other Ca isotopes. In order to measure the lifetimes of the low-lying states in 46Ca, a multi-nucleon transfer (MNT) reaction between neutron-rich projectile and target will be performed. Such a technique allows us to directly populate the excited states of the channels, overcoming experimental limitations caused by the presence of low-lying isomers.
