Introduction
• The configuration mixing is an interesting
subject in the study of nuclear structure.
• Through the study of M1 excitations on
0+ T=0 nuclei, we can learn a lot.
• Light nucleus is easier to be calculated, e. g.
sd-shell one.

Quenching problems
• Less strength is observed than predicted with sum rule.
GT sum rule :
 0 | [Y , Y ] | 0  3( N  Z )
60 → 90% of the strength is observed.
T.Wakasa et al., PRC55(1997)2909 (p,n) reaction
How about M1 strengths?
 , 
Common with GT
Quenching is observed in T=0,1 M1 strengths in 28Si.
N. Anantaraman et al.,PRL52(1984)1409
Almost no quenching is observed in 24,26Mg, 28Si, 32S.
G.M. Crawley et al.,RPC39(1989)311
Improvement of the data quality is required.

Experimental Setup (@RCNP WS course)
Under focus mode
As a beam spot monitor
in the vertical direction
Q1 F.C.
Intensity : 3 ~ 8 nA
Target : natSi (1.9 mg/cm2)
April 05 @ iThemba labs.
Procedure of the beam tuning
• Achromatic transport mode
~40keV (FWHM) : Au(p,p0) at 8°
• Halo free beam tuning at 0°
(achromatic mode)
• Dispersion matching
(faint beam method)
~3mm (FWHM) on the target : beam spot size
It took about 2 days for beam tuning.

Summary
• The (p,p’) experiments at forward angles were carried out at
WS course, RCNP.
• High quality data were obtained.
• We realized
under-focus mode (scattering angle : 0.5~0.8 deg)
dispersion matching (excitation energy : ~20 keV)
in the (p,p’) measurement at 0 degrees.
• Background was subtracted reasonably.
• The cross sections of both IS and IV type were compared with
DWBA calculations.
• The strength distributions were compared with other data.
April 05 @ iThemba labs.
Future
• Jπ assignments of each peak
• Extraction of M1 strengths and their
distributions
• Next beam time
– At finite angles
– Data for further calibrations
