Dineutron correlation th Sep. The 22nd European Conference on Few-Body Problems in Physics 3 A dineutron : A compact spin-singlet pair of two neutrons. Dineutron correlation is enhanced in some situations. (e.g. in the low-density region of the nuclear matter, in the neutron-halo and -skin region of neutron-rich nuclei; 6 He, 11 Li…) M.

Framework th Sep. The 22nd European Conference on Few-Body Problems in Physics 5

In order to describe 8 He, we superpose two kinds of wave functions, extended 6 He + 2n cluster wave functions and 8 He dineutron condensate (DC) wave functions. Description of 8 He th Sep.

Extended 6 He+2n cluster w.f th Sep. The 22nd European Conference on Few-Body Problems in Physics 7 The 8 He system is composed of 6 He(H.O.(0p) 2 ) core and two neutrons around it. The dissociation effect in 2n cluster due to the spin-orbit interaction can be taken into account. 6 He 2n* We mainly describe H.O.(0p 3/2 ) 4 and one dineutron at the surface.

8 He DC wave function th Sep. The 22nd European Conference on Few-Body Problems in Physics 8 We assume that the system is composed of the core and one dineutron. One dineutron (spin-singlet 2n) is distributed around the core in the S-wave. The DC wave function has two characteristic parameters, the dineutron size, b n, the expansion from the core, .  2b n  2n* dineutron We describe one- or two- developed dineutrons.

Summary th Sep. The 22nd European Conference on Few-Body Problems in Physics 13 We investigated the dineutron correlation in 8 He(0 + ). In the excited 0 + state of 8 He, the two-dineutron condensation would exist, characterized by a gas-like structure of an  and two dineutrons. [Poster session 12 th Sep. (Thu.)] In 8 He(0 + 1 ), (0p 3/2 ) 4 - and developed one-dineutron components are mixed, but developed two-dineutron one is minor because of the fragility of the dineutrons.
