Study of the cluster structure of(10)Be and(16)C neutron-rich isotopes by means of intermediate energies breakup reactions
Résumé
We describe the results of a new experiment aimed to investigate the possible existence of cluster structures in(10)Be and(16)C isotopes. They have been investigated at the FRIBs facility of INFN-LNS by means of an invariant mass analysis on correlated projectile breakup fragments carried out with the CHIMERA 4π detector. From the analysis of the(6)He+(4)He channel we found evidence of a new state in(10)Be at 13.5MeV excitation energy. Concerning(16)C, we investigated(6)He+(10)Be correlated fragments and we found a non-vanishing yield at about 20.5MeV in the corresponding excitation energy spectrum. Finally, we describe few details of a new experiment performed at the FRIBs facility where the CHIMERA detector was coupled to the FARCOS hodoscope, with the aim to improve the presently obtained results.
