- Summary
- Within the past five years we have developed experimental techniques to study heavy-ion transfer reactions to high spin states in deformed nuclei. These methods have been turned into a quantitative tool to assess the influence of collective excitation on single-particle and pairing structure. I discuss some of the nuclear structure questions which are being answered in these experiments: How strong is ground state pairing How does pairing change with angular momentum Why is two-neutron transfer much stronger than expected at large radial separation What is the evidence for a nuclear Josephson Effect What is the evidence for a nuclear Berry phase effect (nuclear SQUID) Why does one-neutron transfer populate much higher spins than would be naively expected Conversely, why does two-neutron transfer populate much lower spins than anyone expected The answer to each of these questions involves the influence of detailed nuclear structure on transfer reactions, and represents quantitative new information about the effect of angular momentum and excitation energy on many-body systems with a finite number of particles. 8 refs., 6 figs.
