The parity-transfer $({}^{16}{rm O},{}^{16}{rm F}(0^-,{rm g.s.}))$ reaction is presented as a new probe for investigating isovector $0^-$ states in nuclei. The properties of $0^-$ states provide a stringent test of the threshold density for pion condensation in nuclear matter. Utilizing a $0^+ rightarrow 0^-$ transition in the projectile, the parity-transfer reaction transfers an internal parity to a target nucleus, resulting in a unique sensitivity to unnatural-parity states. Consequently, the selectivity for $0^-$ states is higher than in other reactions employed to date. The probe was applied to a study of the $0^-$ states in ${}^{12}{rm B}$ via the ${}^{12}{rm C}({}^{16}{rm O},{}^{16}{rm F}(0^-,{rm g.s.}))$ reaction at $247~{rm MeV/u}$. The excitation energy spectra were deduced by detecting the ${}^{15}{rm O}+p$ pair produced in the decay of the ${}^{16}{rm F}$ ejectile. A known $0^-$ state at $E_x = 9.3~{rm MeV}$ was observed with an unprecedentedly high signal-to-noise ratio. The data also revealed new candidates of $0^-$ states at $E_x=6.6 pm 0.4$ and $14.8 pm 0.3~{rm MeV}$. The results demonstrate the high efficiency of $0^-$ state detection by the parity-transfer reaction.

We report measurements of the cross section and a complete set of polarization transfer observables for the ${}^{16}{rm O}(vec{p},vec{n}){}^{16}{rm F}$ reaction at a bombarding energy of $T_p$ = 296 MeV and a reaction angle of $theta_{rm lab}$ = $0^{circ}$. The data are compared with distorted-wave impulse approximation calculations employing the large configuration-space shell-model (SM) wave functions. The well-known Gamow-Teller and spin-dipole (SD) states at excitation energies of $E_x$ $lesssim$ 8 MeV have been reasonably reproduced by the calculations except for the spin--parity $J^{pi}$ = $2^-$ state at $E_x$ = 5.86 MeV. The SD resonance at $E_x$ $simeq$ 9.5 MeV appears to have more $J^{pi}$ = $2^-$ strength than $J^{pi}$ = $1^-$ strength, consistent with the calculations. The data show significant strength in the spin-longitudinal polarized cross section $ID_L(0^{circ})$ at $E_x$ $simeq$ 15 MeV, which indicates existence of the $J^{pi}$ = $0^-$ SD resonance as predicted in the SM calculations.
The $^{15}{rm N}(p,gamma)^{16}{rm O}$ reaction provides a path from the CN cycle to the CNO bi-cycle and CNO tri-cycle. The measured astrophysical factor for this reaction is dominated by resonant capture through two strong $J^{pi}=1^{-}$ resonances at $E_{R}= 312$ and 962 keV and direct capture to the ground state. Recently, a new measurement of the astrophysical factor for the $^{15}{rm N}(p,gamma)^{16}{rm O}$ reaction has been published [P. J. LeBlanc {it et al.}, Phys. Rev. {bf C 82}, 055804 (2010)]. The analysis has been done using the $R$-matrix approach with unconstrained variation of all parameters including the asymptotic normalization coefficient (ANC). The best fit has been obtained for the square of the ANC $C^{2}= 539.2$ fm${}^{-1}$, which exceeds the previously measured value by a factor of $approx 3$. Here we present a new $R$-matrix analysis of the Notre Dame-LUNA data with the fixed within the experimental uncertainties square of the ANC $C^{2}=200.34$ fm${}^{-1}$. Rather than varying the ANC we add the contribution from a background resonance that effectively takes into account contributions from higher levels. Altogether we present 8 fits, five unconstrained and three constrained. In all the fits the ANC is fixed at the previously determined experimental value $C^{2}=200.34$ fm${}^{-1}$. For the unconstrained fit with the boundary condition $B_{c}=S_{c}(E_{2})$, where $E_{2}$ is the energy of the second level, we get $S(0)=39.0 pm 1.1 $ keVb and normalized ${tilde chi}^{2}=1.84$, i.e. the result which is similar to [P. J. LeBlanc {it et al.}, Phys. Rev. {bf C 82}, 055804 (2010)]. From all our fits we get the range $33.1 leq S(0) leq 40.1$ keVb which overlaps with the result of [P. J. LeBlanc {it et al.}, Phys. Rev. {bf C 82}, 055804 (2010)]. We address also physical interpretation of the fitting parameters.
We present a new picture that the $alpha$-linear-chain structure for ${^{12}{rm C}}$ and ${^{16}{rm O}}$ has one-dimensional $alpha$ condensate character. The wave functions of linear-chain states which are described by superposing a large number of Brink wave functions have extremely large overlaps of nearly $100%$ with single Tohsaki-Horiuchi-Schuck-Ropke (THSR) wave functions, which were proposed to describe the $alpha$ condensed gas-like states. Although this new picture is different from the conventional idea of the spatial localization of $alpha$ clusters, the density distributions are shown to have localized $alpha$-clusters which is due to the inter-$alpha$ Pauli repulsion.
Experimental results of the $p(^{13}{rm B},d)^{12}{rm B}$ transfer reaction to the low-lying states in $^{12}$B are reported. The optical potential parameters for the entrance channel are extracted from the elastic scattering $p$($^{13}{rm B}$, $p$) measured in the same experiment, while those for the exit channel are global ones. Spectroscopic factors associated with the $p$-, $s$-, and $d$-wave neutron transfer to the known $^{12}$B states, are extracted by comparing the deuteron angular distributions with the calculation results. The separated $s$- and $d$-wave intruder strengths in $^{13}{rm B}_{rm g.s.}$ were determined to be $10(2)%$ and $6(1)%$, respectively, which follow roughly the systematics for the $N$ = 8 neutron-rich isotones. The measured total intruder strength is in good agreement with the shell model calculation, while the individual ones evolve quite differently. Particularly, the sudden change of the $d$-wave intensity between $^{13}$B and $^{12}$Be needs further theoretical interpretation.
We report new measurements of the neutron charge form factor at low momentum transfer using quasielastic electrodisintegration of the deuteron. Longitudinally polarized electrons at an energy of 850 MeV were scattered from an isotopically pure, highly polarized deuterium gas target. The scattered electrons and coincident neutrons were measured by the Bates Large Acceptance Spectrometer Toroid (BLAST) detector. The neutron form factor ratio $G^{n}_{E}/G^{n}_{M}$ was extracted from the beam-target vector asymmetry $A_{ed}^{V}$ at four-momentum transfers $Q^{2}=0.14$, 0.20, 0.29 and 0.42 (GeV/c)$^{2}$.
