Description
Quasi-free knockout reactions have been established in the past years as a versatile spectroscopic tool to study exotic nuclei accelerated to high energy of few hundred MeV/nucleon. The advantage of inverse kinematics is the possibility of kinematical complete measurements of the reaction including the detection of the remaining residue after the knockout. The applications of quasi-free knockout reactions are meanwhile manifold, examples are the study of the single-particle structure by single-nucleon knockout like (p,2p), or the population of nuclei beyond the drip line by nucleon or cluster knockout reactions as (p,2p) and (p,p alpha). Short-range correlations can be identified in (p,2p) and (p,pd) reactions. In general, (p,2p) is a suitable reaction to populate continuum states, as (p,2p fission) for example to investigate the fission process with control on the excitation energy and to extract fission thresholds.
In this presentation I will discuss recent examples addressing the aforementioned processes and topics.
