Exploring the structure of ${}^{29}$Ne

Abstract

We apply a fully quantum mechanical Coulomb breakup theory under the aegis of post form finite-range distorted wave Born approximation to analyze the elastic Coulomb breakup of ${}^{29}$Ne on ${}^{208}$Pb at $244$\,MeV/u. We calculate several reaction observables to quantify its structural parameters. One-neutron removal cross-section is calculated to check the consistency of the ground state configuration of ${}^{29}$Ne with the available experimental data. A scrutiny of the parallel momentum distribution of the charged fragment reveals a full width at half maximum of $82$\,MeV/c, which is in good agreement with the experimental value and indicates a moderate halo for a nearly spherical ${}^{29}$Ne in the ${}^{28}$Ne$(0^{+})\otimes 2p_{3/2}\nu$ ground state. The energy-angular distributions and average momentum of the charged fragment point to the absence of post-acceleration effects in the breakup process, a desirable result for the elastic breakup.
