On the discovery of doubly magic Ni-48

The paper reports on the first observation of doubly-magic Nickel-48 in an experimental at the SISSI/LISE3 facility of GANIL. Four Nickel-48 isotopes were identified. In addition, roughly 100 Nickel-49, 50 Iron-45, and 290 Chromium-42 isotopes were observed. This opens the possibility to search for two-proton emission from these nuclei.

The technique of intensity interferometry is proposed as a probe of the spatial configuration of two-Neutron haloes. After exploring the sensitivity of interferometry to the n-N configuration, it is demonstrated that the application of the standard method for constructing the correlation function is not valid for halo neutrons. A new iterative method is presented and applied to measurements of the dissociation of 6He, 11Li and 14Be. The correlation functions for these systems have thus been extracted for the first time and the corresponding root-Mean-Square n-n separations estimated. The results are in agreement with the predictions of available three-Body models

Three-body correlations in the dissociation of Borromean halo nuclei are explored for the first time using a technique based on intensity interferometry and Dalitz plots. As an example, the breakup of
