Study of 11Be structure via the p(11Be, 10Be)d reaction

The reaction 11Be(p,d)10Be has been studied for the first time, using a secondary 11Be beam of 35.3 MeV/nucleon. Angular distributions up to about 15cmo were measured by detecting 10Be in a spectrometer and coincident deuterons in a position sensitive silicon detector array. Preliminary analysis provides evidence for a large core excitation component in the structure of 11BeGS.
