Cigar-like Other examples – 11 Li, 14 Be, 8 He Object of investigation – structure of neutron halo Investigation of reactions using beams of radioactive nuclei have extended the area of nuclear physics on nuclei far from the stability line. Many new phenomena characteristic for unstable nuclei, for example nuclei with neutron halo were discovered. Especially interesting are so-called Borromean nuclei - nuclei with two-neutron halo ( 11 Li, 6 He, 14 Be). Dineutron 6 He

QFS of proton by constituents (  -n-n) of 6 He Halo projectile 6 He is considered as a system - claster (C) and spectator (S) Then QFS may be denoted as S+C( 1 H, 1 H)C+S where C = 5 He 4 He 2 n 1 n S = 1 n 2 n 4 He 5 He QFS – assumption that incident particle is scattered by a claster while spectator is at rest QFS of proton (projectile p) by dineutron – spectator ( 4 He) is at rest Our case – inverse kinematics QFS of dineutron (projectile 6 He) by proton – spectator ( 4 He) conserves its direction and intrinsic momentum distribution in the projectile In the experiment such event looks like the three-pronged star ( 6 He, 4 He,p) with 4 He track emitting from the interaction point at close to zero angle and with momentum close to 4/6 of momentum of projectile at energy of interaction

Determination of particle trajectories Three-dimensional scanning of PE is performed at automated setup PAVIKOM at P.N. Lebedev Physical Institute The images of consecutive (with step of several m) PE layers are obtained and transferred to the computer In each layer we select darkening areas (globes) with characteristics inherent for tracks of given charged particle Coordinates (x, y) of centers of mass of all globes in each layer (z-coordinate) are determined and stored Then, the particle trajectories X i (z) and Y i (z) are determined by center-of-mass coordinates in consecutive layers of PE

Two-neutron transfer cross-section G.M.Ter-Akopian et al. 1998; Yu.Ts.Oganessian et al He beam with energy of 151 MeV; 4 He and 1 H targets “..it is found that the “dineutron “ configuration of the 6 He nucleus gives the dominant contribution to the two-neutron transfer cross-section.” Quasi-free capture E.Sauvan, F.M.Marques et al. 2001; N.A.Orr, F.M.Marques He beam with energy of 240 MeV; 1 H target “…non-observation of capture on a di-neutron” “This indicates… that 4 He-n-n (i.e., no compact dineutron component) is the dominant configuration present in 6 He gs.” Structure of neutron halo of 6 He So, even for the most studied 6 He-nucleus it is impossible to draw a final conclusion on the structure of neutron halo. New experiments for various reactions and at various energies are needed.

Determination of the trajectory parameters E int, E 1, E 2,  1,  2 E int =f(E 0,R 0 ) E 1 =f(R 1 ) E 2 =f(R 2 ) The characteristic trajectory corresponding to the given reaction consists of the track of primary particle ( 6 He), interaction point (IP), and trajectories of secondary particles emitting from the interaction point. Then the program determines range (energy) of the primary particle at the interaction point, angles of emission of secondary particles, and ranges (energies) of the secondary particles.
