Single-particle structure of radioactive beams from one-nucleon knockout reactions

Studies of the single-particle structure of radioactive beams produced in fragmentation reactions are described. The experiments are based on observing the individual final states of the projectile residues produced in one-nucleon knockout reactions. The measured partial cross sections to the various final states of the projectile residue and the shape of the corresponding longitudinal momentum distributions reflect the single particle properties, spectroscopic factors and the angular momentum l of the removed nucleon. Applications to 26,27P and 15C are discussed.
