Observation of forward neutrons from the break-up of the 11Li neutron halo

Abstract The cross-sections and forward angular distributions of fast neutrons have been studied for the reaction (11Li, 9Li) at 29 MeV/u on targets of Be, Ni and Au. The cross-sections are large and arise essentially from peripheral reactions. The angular distributions of the neutrons are very narrow and indicate the existence of a neutron halo with radius of about 12 fm.

Search for 28O and study of neutron-rich nuclei near the N = 20 shell closure

Abstract A search for 28 O with a 78 AMeV beam of the neutron-rich isotope 36 S has been performed for the first time. Evidence for the unbound character of 28 O was obtained. In the same experiment the half-lives of the very neutron-rich isotopes 27,29 F and 30 Ne were measured and those for 28,29 Ne and 30,31 Na reexamined. The results are compared to shell-model predictions and conclusions drawn regarding the extent of the region of deformation around N = 20.

Three-body correlations in Borromean halo nuclei

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
