Abstract

We report on the first γ -ray spectroscopy of 51, 53 K produced via the 52, 54 Ca( p , 2 p ) reactions at ∼250 MeV/nucleon. Unambiguous final-state angular-momentum assignments were achieved for beam intensities down to few particles per second by using a new technique based on reaction vertex tracking combined with a thick liquid-hydrogen target. Through γ -ray spectroscopy and exclusive parallel momentum distribution analysis, 3/2 + ground states and 1/2 + first excited states in 51, 53 K were established quantifying the natural ordering of the 1d3/2 and 2s1/2 proton-hole states that are restored at N = 32 and 34. State-of-the-art ab initio calculations and shell-model calculations with improved phenomenological effective interactions reproduce the present data and predict consistently the increase of the E (1/2 1+ ) - E (3/2 1+ ) energy differences towards N = 40.
