Investigation of the Li9+H2→Li8+t reaction at REX-ISOLDE

The one-neutron transfer reaction Li9+H2→Li8+t has been investigated in an inverse kinematics experiment by bombarding a deuterated polypropylene target with a 2.36 MeV/u 9Li beam from the post-accelerator REX-ISOLDE at CERN. Excitation energies in 8Li as well as angular distributions of the tritons were obtained and spectroscopic factors deduced.
