Level structure of $^{\mathrm{96}}$Mo from the (d,p$\gamma )$ measurement with $^{\mathrm{95}}$Mo beams and GODDESS*

When used in conjunction with radioactive ion beams in inverse kinematics, the surrogate reactions method (SRM) can inform neutron capture cross sections on isotopes of interest to the r process. The use of SRM requires a modern nuclear reaction model of the (d,p) reaction that includes deuteron break-up and a level scheme that is as detailed as possible. Recently, the (d, p) reaction was confirmed as a surrogate for (n, $\gamma )$ reactions in normal kinematics using a $^{\mathrm{95}}$Mo target.$^{\mathrm{1}}$ To extend the benchmarking of the surrogate reactions method to inverse kinematics, a (d, p$\gamma )$ measurement with $^{\mathrm{95}}$Mo beams was performed using GODDESS (Gammasphere ORRUBA: Dual Detectors for Experimental Structure Studies) at ATLAS. This GODDESS experiment is the first (d, p$\gamma )$ measurement on $^{\mathrm{95}}$Mo to populate two-neutron configurations of states below 4 MeV. This (d, p$\gamma )$ study is an important step in refining the reaction theory and current level scheme of $^{\mathrm{96}}$Mo for use in the surrogate reaction analysis. Preliminary results detailing the differential cross sections of low-lying states in $^{\mathrm{96}}$Mo and extension of the $^{\mathrm{96}}$Mo level scheme will be presented. [1] A.
