Abstract

The first investigation of the single-particle structure of the bound states of ¹⁷C, via the d(¹⁶C,p) transfer reaction, has been undertaken. The measured angular distributions confirm the spin-parity assignments of 1/2⁺ and 5/2⁺ for the excited states located at 217 and 335 keV, respectively. The spectroscopic factors deduced for these states exhibit a marked single-particle character, in agreement with shell model and particle-core model calculations, and combined with their near degeneracy in energy provide clear evidence for the absence of the N=14 sub-shell closure. The very small spectroscopic factor found for the 3/2⁺ ground state is consistent with theoretical predictions and indicates that the ν1d_3/2 strength is carried by unbound states. With a dominant ℓ=0 valence neutron configuration and a very low separation energy, the 1/2⁺ excited state is a one-neutron halo candidate.
