Proton inelastic scattering off a neutron halo nucleus, 11Li, has been studied in inverse kinematics at the IRIS facility at TRIUMF. The aim was to establish a soft dipole resonance and to obtain its dipole strength. Using a high quality 66 MeV 11Li beam, a strongly populated excited state in 11Li was observed at Ex=0.80 ± 0.02 MeV with a width of Γ = 1.15 ± 0.06 MeV. A DWBA (distorted-wave...
We analyzed the 11Li(p,p’) reaction at 6 MeV/nucleon by using a microscopic continuum-discretized coupled-channels method, in which 11Li is described by a 9Li + n + n three-body model. In this analysis, we found a dipole resonance of 11Li, and the resonance can be interpreted as a bound state in the 10Li + n system, that is , a Feshbach resonance in the 9Li + n + n system. For 11Li, the 10Li +...
One-nucleon removal (p,pN) reactions in inverse kinematics, performed at intermediate energies to increase the mean free path of the proton inside the nucleus, can provide quite clean spectroscopic information on exotic nuclei. The Transfer to the Continuum framework, originally developed for the case of two-body projectiles [1], has been recently extended to describe (p,pN) reactions induced...
Dineutron correlation is one of the phenomena expected to appear in neutron drip-line nuclei. It has been studied using different approaches, such as the transfer reaction and the break up reaction. However, currently available data seem to be insufficient to study the neutron-neutron correlation in terms of (i) the decomposition of high-angular-momentum components, (ii) the extraction of a...
