Description
Studies of nuclei far from the stability line revealed drastic changes in nuclear orbitals presented as appearance of new magic numbers and disappearance of magic numbers. One of the important reason of such change is considered to be due to the effect of tensor forces in nuclear structure. Although the importance of tensor forces has been known as giving most of the binding energies in very light nuclei such as deuteron and 4He, direct experimental evidences of the importance in nuclear structure are scarce. In particular it is known that the mixing of higher waves, for example a D wave component in deuteron wave function with high-momentum component, is very important for the binding.
Recent study of (p,d) and (p,pd) reaction at high momentum transfer will be presented and the importance of tensor interactions in low excited states of nuclei will be discussed.
