Abstract

Over the last decades, (t,p) striping and (p,t) pick-up reaction measurements near and at zero degrees were successfully performed with magnetic spectrometers populating very selective feeding of states with low angular momentum transfer with projectile energy Elab < 100 MeV. In this work, a similar type of reaction was utilized with the (3He,n) stripping reaction to populate selectively states where two correlated protons dominate the configuration. In these experiments, excited states are identified with the AFRODITE γ-ray spectrometer tagged with the subsequent detection of the fast neutron at forward angles. Test experiments were performed in various mass regions. This technique is applied to the case of 100Ru and 150Sm to investigate the proton occupation of excited states populated in 2β decay.
