Multichannel analysis of the 16B nucleus

This work is devoted to a Generator-Coordinate-Method investigation of the 16B spectrum with an Extended Two-Cluster Model which includes many 15B+n channels. We find that the narrow peak above the 15B+n threshold seen in the experiments of Kalpachieva et al. and of Lecouey et al. can be assigned to a 01- resonance. Several resonances are obtained near the 15B+n threshold, in particular a 11- state which could be a possible candidate for the 16B ground state. Comparison with Shell Model calculations is performed. © 2011 World Scientific Publishing Company.SCOPUS: cp.j
