The excited states of unstable 20O were investigated via γ-ray spectroscopy following the
19O(d, p)20O reaction at 8 AMeV. By exploiting the Doppler Shift Attenuation Method, the lifetime
of the 2+
2 and 3+
1 states were firmly established. From the γ-ray branching and E2/M1 mixing ratios
for transitions deexciting the 2+
2 and 3+
1 states, the B(E2) and B(M1) were determined. Various
chiral effective field theory Hamiltonians, describing the nuclear properties beyond ground states,
along with a standard USDB interaction, were compared with the experimentally obtained data.
Such a comparison for a large set of γ-ray transition probabilities with the valence space in medium 2
similarity renormalization group ab-initio calculations was performed for the first time in a nucleus
far from stability. It was shown that the ab-initio approaches using chiral EFT forces are challenged
by detailed high-precision spectroscopic properties of nuclei. The reduced transition probabilities
were found to be a very constraining test of the performance of the ab-initio models
