Supported by a National Science Foundation Research at Undergraduate Institutions (NSF RUI) grant (PHY-1617250).

Project Description

Following an experiment at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory at Michigan State University (NSCL), we discuss preliminary analysis and results for excited states of the isotope ⁴²S populated via inverse-kinematics proton scattering. The experiment was conducted with the NSCL/Ursinus College hydrogen target and the GRETINA gamma-ray tracking array. We report the proton-scattering deformation length of the 2⁺₁ excitation in ⁴²S and compare our results with other neutron-rich sulfur isotopes.
