[en] To study the nuclear structure of neutron-rich titanium isotopes, a lifetime measurement was performed at the Grand Accelerateur National d'Ions Lourds (GANIL) facility in Caen, France. The nuclei were produced in a multinucleon-transfer reaction by using a 6.76 MeV/u ²³⁸U beam. The Advanced Gamma Tracking Array (AGATA) was employed for the gamma-ray detection and target-like recoils were identified event-by-event by the large-acceptance variable mode spectrometer (VAMOS++). Preliminary level lifetimes of the (5/2^-) to (13/2^-) states of the yrast band in the neutron-rich nucleus ⁵³Ti were measured for the first time employing the recoil distance Doppler-shift (RDDS) method and the compact plunger for deep inelastic reactions. The differential decay curve method (DDCM) was used to obtain the lifetimes from the RDDS data. (authors)

[en] We report here results of an application of single-nucleon stripping reactions at high energies (65 MeV/u) in inverse kinematics to obtain spectroscopic factors. From measurements of the partial cross-sections for ground and excited states in residual nuclei formed in one-proton stripping reactions, single particle orbits and occupancies of light nuclei have been studied in the s-d shell. Single proton stripping cross-sections of ²⁵Al and ^26,27,28P on a Be target have been measured using the S800 spectrograph and the NaI(Tl) array at the NSCL. These results indicate that this technique may provide a general tool for the intermediate energy range analogous to transfer (pick-up) reactions at low-energy
