Abstract: (arXiv)
The two-proton knockout reaction 9^9Be(54^{54}Ti,52^{52}Ca+γ + \gamma) has been studied at 72 MeV/nucleon. Besides the strong feeding of the 52^{52}Ca ground state, the only other sizeable cross section proceeds to a 3^- level at 3.9 MeV. There is no measurable direct yield to the first excited 2+^+ state at 2.6 MeV. The results illustrate the potential of such direct reactions for exploring cross-shell proton excitations in neutron-rich nuclei and confirms the doubly-magic nature of 52^{52}Ca.
