# Structure of 10N in 9C+p resonance scattering

## TL;DR

This study investigates the structure of the exotic nucleus 10N through resonance scattering of 9C+p, revealing unbound states and identifying the lowest energy resonances with specific spin-parity assignments.

## Contribution

It provides new experimental data on 10N's resonance states and clarifies its unbound nature with specific energy and spin-parity information.

## Key findings

- Two lowest states are L=0 resonances.
- Ground state is unbound by approximately 2 MeV.
- First excited state is unbound by about 2.8 MeV.

## Abstract

The structure of exotic nucleus 10N was studied using 9C+p resonance scattering. Two L=0 resonances were found to be the lowest states in 10N. The ground state of 10N is unbound with respect to proton decay by 2.2(2) or 1.9(2) MeV depending on the 2- or 1- spin-parity assignment, and the first excited state is unbound by 2.8(2) MeV.
