The extended energy regime of ²⁶Na via transfer reaction in inverse kinematics

The radioactive beam of ²⁵Na at 5 MeV/u was employed to study the nuclear structure of ²⁶Na excited states with an interest of its populated energies via transfer reaction. Inverse kinematics calculations were used to retrieve the excited state energies by reconstructing from the detected scattered proton energies in full angular coverage of Silicon Highly Segmented Array for Reactions and Coulex (SHARC) detector. Due to the limited resolution of the particle detector, TRIUMF ISAC Gamma-Ray Escape-Suppressed Spectrometer (TIGRESS) was also used in the detector set-up in the forward direction of 90 and 135 degree. This experimental set-up was the first experiment with a radioactive beam at TRIUMF facility in Canada. The nuclear reaction of d (²⁵Na, p γ) was studied to extend the decay scheme through the gamma cascades rather than previously studied pure transitions to the ground state.
