Isovector Electric Monopole Resonance In Ni-60

The isovector electric monopole resonance (NMR) was studied by the Ni-60(Li-7,Be-7)Co-60 reaction at 65A MeV and at forward scattering angles including zero degrees. We confirmed the existence of the IVMR at an excitation energy of 20 +/- 2 MeV with a width of 10 +/- 2 MeV in Co-60, which is an analog of the T-0 + 1 isospin component of the IVMR estimated at E-x approximate to 31 MeV in Ni-60. The result presently obtained is consistent with previous results using the pion charge-exchange reaction.
