Abstract

The s-wave neutron fraction of the 0+ levels in 12Be has been investigated for the first time through the 11Be(d, p) transfer reaction using a 5 A MeV 11Be beam at TRIUMF, Canada. The reaction populated all the known bound states of 12Be. The ground state s-wave spectroscopic factor was determined to be 0.28- 0.07+ 0.03 while that for the long-lived 02+ excited state was 0.73- 0.40+ 0.27. This observation, together with the smaller effective separation energy indicates enhanced probability for an extended density tail beyond the 10Be core for the 02+ excited state compared to the ground state.
