PY - 2015 DA - 2015// TI - Multitude of 2(+) discrete states in Sn-124 observed via the (O-17, O-17 'gamma) reaction: Evidence for pygmy quadrupole states T2 - Phys. Rev. C JO - Physical Review C SP - 014330 EP - 7pp VL - 92 IS - 1 PB - Amer Physical Soc AB - A multitude of discrete 2(+) states in Sn-124 with energy up to 5 MeV were populated and identified with the (O-17, O-17'gamma) reaction at 340 MeV. Cross sections were compared with distorted wave Born approximation predictions and in general a good agreement was found. The measured energy and intensity distributions of the 2(+) states are very similar to the predictions based on self-consistent density functional theory and extended QRPA approach accounting for multiphonon degrees of freedom. This provides evidence of the excitation of the pygmy quadrupole resonance in skin nuclei.
