Description

We have performed a Coulomb excitation experiment of 58Ti and
determined its B(E2) value to study the evolution of collectivity in
the Ti isotopes towards N=40.
The neutron number N=40 is a magic
number in the harmonic oscillator model.
However, the magic character is not observed in most nuclei because of the
narrowing of the shell gap due to spin-orbit interaction.
One exception is the proton magic nickel isotope with N=40 (68Ni),
which shows magic nature having small collectivity compared to
the surrounding Ni isotopes.
Fe(Z=26) and Cr(Z=24) at N=40 recover large collectivity again.
It is interesting to see if the magic
nature restores again or not in Ti isotopes (Z=22) located near the lower
edge (Z=20) of the f7/2 shell. For the Ti isotopes, B(E2) values,
which are the most direct indicators of collectivity, have been
obtained up to 54Ti with N=32. The Coulomb excitation experiment
was performed at RIBF using the HiCARI array consisting of the
MiniBall clusters, Clover detectors, and Tracking Ge detectors. In
this presentation, I will talk about the result of this experiment.
