Abstract

Measuring radioactive nuclei at or just beyond a drip line is very difficult. Conversely, many have mirror nuclei on or near the valley of stability, where properties are often well known. With a Multi-Channel Algebraic Scattering formalism (MCAS), we predict the spectrum of the proton emitter 17Na by the use of its mirror 17C. Firstly, model parameters are fixed for neutron-nucleus scattering where the compound system has a stable ground state, and then the protons and neutrons are interchanged to examine the unstable system. In the absence of a measured ground state with which to assess the MCAS prediction, we compare with values from mass equations and from systematic trends we have found in known nucleon separation energies of mirror systems.
