Description
We present recent results obtained in the $^{22}$Ne + $^{238}$U multi-nucleon transfer experiment performed within the current AGATA campaign at Laboratori Nazionali di Legnaro, aiming to explore the structural evolution of light nuclei towards the $N=20$ Island of Inversion. This work is primarily focused on the spectroscopy of Ne isotopes with neutron number N = 12−16. The experimental setup, comprising the AGATA γ array coupled to the PRISMA magnetic spectrometer, allowed us to detect and identify the ions of interest and measure, in coincidence, γ rays from excited states as well as lifetimes with the DSAM technique. EM transition rates and excitation energies will be compared to state-of-the art theoretical calculations to track the evolution of nuclear structure towards the Island of Inversion.
