Abstract

Partial cross sections and corresponding momentum distributions have been studied in the one-neutron knockout reaction (12Be, 11Be 1 g) on a 9Be target at 78 MeVnucleon. The resulting spectroscopic factors for the only two bound states of 11Be are 0.42 6 0.06 (121) and 0.37 6 0.06 (122), where the errors are experimental only. This result shows that N 8 is not a good closed shell in the neutronrich 12Be and that the last neutron pair is two-thirds in the (1s2 1 0d2) intruder configuration.
