A review of evidence on the properties of the A= 12 nuclei, with emphasis on material
leading to information about the structure of the A= 12 systems.

I examine the history and current state of knowledge of the structure of so-called “exotic” light
nuclei with Z= 2-4, from 7 He to 16 Be. I review the available experimental information and …

A new 11 Be (d, p) 12 Be transfer reaction experiment was carried out in inverse kinematics
at 26.9A MeV, with special efforts devoted to the determination of the deuteron target …

A new one-neutron adding reaction on Be 11 was performed at 26.9 A MeV. The elastic-
scattering data was measured simultaneously to determine the target component and optical …

We investigate the low-lying positive-parity states in Be 12, which are populated by the H 2
(B 13, He 3) reaction via l= 1 proton transfer for the first time using a radioactive beam B 13 …

A quantitative and predictive microscopic theoretical framework that can describe reactions
induced by $\alpha $ particles ($^ 4$ He nuclei) and heavier projectiles is currently lacking …

The neutron-unbound nucleus Be 13 was populated with a nucleon exchange reaction from
a 71 MeV/u secondary B 13 beam. The decay-energy spectrum was reconstructed using …

Unbound positive-parity states in 10 Li have been populated with a two-proton removal
reaction from a 71 MeV/u 12 B beam. The 9 Li fragments and emitted neutrons were …

Background: Be 15 is expected to have low-lying 3/2+ and 5/2+ states. A first search did not
find the 3/2+[A. Spyrou et al., Phys. Rev. C 84, 044309 (2011) PRVCAN 0556-2813 …

I have calculated spectroscopic factors connecting three d resonances in Be 13 to the three
lowest states of Be 12. Combined with single-particle widths computed in a potential model, I …
