Study of multinucleon knockout reactions in exotic nuclei in the region of nitrogen

Neutron-rich light isotopes offer a great tool to extend our current knowledge of nuclear physics. On the one hand, they are optimal systems for investigating nucleon-nucleon correlations. On the other hand, exotic nuclei are crucial when studying the reduction factor (ratio of experimental cross sections relative to theoretical predictions) found in some previous studies for single-nucleon knockout reactions. The conclusions about the dependence of this reduction on the Δ S of the projectile are varied, therefore having more data for extreme values of Δ S is fundamental. The (p,pX) knockout reactions studied with the R3B setup offer a unique opportunity for kinematically complete measurements using inverse kinematics. This work presents the experiment, explaining how this data could shed some light on investigations where there is still room for improvement.
