Asymmetry dependence of reduction factors from single-nucleon knockout of 30Ne at ∼ 230 MeV/nucleon

Abstract

The single-neutron and -proton removal reactions of 30Ne with large separation-energy asymmetry |δS| = |Sn-Sp| at incident energies of about 230 MeV/nucleon are measured. In the case of the deeply bound nucleon removal data, a large disagreement is obtained from the theoretical cross sections calculated using the eikonal reaction theory, with nuclear structure inputs from the many-body shell-model theory and the antisymmetrized molecular dynamics theory, respectively. Such a discrepancy is consistent with the systematics observed from the knockout reactions at incident energies ∼ 100 MeV/nucleon.
