Determination of N=16 Shell closure in the Oxygen Drip Line
The first mass measurement of O-25, populated in a one-proton stripping reaction from a secondary 26F beam was made using the MoNA/Sweeper. The size of the N =16 shell gap was determined at the oxygen drip line, and a lowering of the v0d3=2 orbital was observed. Phys. Rev. Lett. 100, 152502 (2008)
Sequential Neutron Decay Spectroscopy Technique Studied
An investigation of potential of sequential neutron decay spectroscopy for the measurement of unbound resonances in neutron-rich nuclei with the MoNA/Sweeper was published in Nuclear Physics A. Nucl. Phys. A801 101 (2008)
Observation of First Excited State in O-23 New results from the MoNA Collaboration were published in the September 14, 2007 issue of Physical Review Letters . "Selective population and neutron decay of the first excited state of semi-magic O-23"describes the first observation of the neutron unbound first excited state in O-23. Phys. Rev. Lett. 99, 112501 (2007)
MoNA Move Profiled in Symmetry Magazine
The particle physics magazine Symmetry spotlighted the MoNA's move to the new vault in their August Issue. Symmetry Vol. 4 Issue 6 Aug. 2007
MoNA/Sweeprer Moved Into a New Vault
The MoNA/Sweeper is being moved into the new vault at the NSCL. The new
location will allow greater flexibility in the configuration of the detector.
