Two-neutron transfer reactions such as (p,t) and (t,p) have provided a unique tool to understand neutron pairing correlations in nuclei [1]. Based on the formal analogy between pairing distortions and quadrupole shape fluctuation [1], where an important measure of collective effects is provided by the B(E2) transition probabilities, one can associate a similar role to the transition operators...
The investigation of the three-body forces influence in the structure of light nuclei has gained a lot of interest in recent years.
In this context, the oxygen isotopic chain is a perfect playground.
In fact, the introduction of three-body forces in the interaction explained the change in neutron shell closure from $\nu d_{3/2}$ ($N=20$) to $\nu s_{1/2}$ ($N=16$), as observed...
