Abstract

The low-lying structure of ¹⁵C has been investigated via the neutron-removal ¹⁶C(d,t) reaction. Along with the known bound neutron sd-shell states, unbound p-shell hole states have been observed. The excitation energies and the deduced spectroscopic factors of the cross-shell states are an important measure of the [(p)⁻¹(sd)²] neutron configurations in ¹⁵C. Our results show a very good agreement with shell-model calculations using the SFO-tls interaction for ¹⁵C. However, this same interaction predicted energies that were too low for the corresponding hole states in the N = 9 isotone ¹⁷O and adjustment of the p-sd and sd-sd monopole terms was required to match the ¹⁷O energies. In addition, the excitation energies and spectroscopic factors have been compared to the first calculations of ¹⁵C with the ab initio self-consistent Green’s function method employing the NNLO_sat interaction. The results show the sensitivity to the size of the N = 8 shell gap and highlight the need to go beyond the current truncation scheme
