32 Paschalis, Stefanos KRA English 132 S. A well-established technique to probe the single-particle structure over a wide rangeof nuclei is the one-nucleon removal reactions in inverse kinematics using radioactiveion beams. This thesis presents inclusive measurements of one-nucleon removal from57Ni by a carbon (C) target. The interest in studying 57Ni, a nuclide with only onenucleon (neutron) above the N = Z = 28 double shell closure, arises from the conflictingresults regarding its single-particle nature that were extracted in several experiments.Moreover, this thesis discusses the first results of a new experimental technique usedto identify the quasi-free (p,2p) and (p,pn) scattering processes in inverse kinematics,when the 57Ni ions react with the protons of a polyolefin (CH2) target, by the coincidentdetection of the two recoiling fast nucleons and the heavy outgoing fragment. In bothreactions the measurement of the transverse momentum distribution of the projectilelikefragments, after the removal of one nucleon, provides information on the orbitalangular momentum of the removed particle. The one-nucleon removal reactions withthe C target induce mainly peripheral collisions, providing information only on theasymptotic part of the single-particle wave function, while the quasi-free scatteringreactions can also probe more deeply bound nucleons providing an insight into theinterior of the nucleus. The experiment was performed in May 2005 at GSI, Darmstadt,Germany using the LAND/ALADIN setup (future R3B setup). The cocktail beam ofthe radioactive species under study was produced by the in-flight fragmentation ofa 600 MeV/nucleon 58Ni primary beam on a thick beryllium (Be) target and wasselected and unambiguously identified on an event-by-event basis by the FRS separator.The 57Ni fragments present in the cocktail beam reacted with the secondary targetlocated at the LAND/ALADIN setup with an energy of 510 MeV/nucleon. A largepart of this thesis is also devoted to presenting new calibration and reconstructiontechniques integrated in the (under development) common analysis framework land02,which is used for on-line monitoring and off-line analysis of past and future experimentsperformed at the LAND/ALADIN setup.
