    The emission of neutron pairs from the neutron-rich N = 12 isotones 18C and 20O has been studied by high-energy nucleon knockout from 19N and 21O secondary beams, populating unbound states of the two isotones up to 15 MeV above their two-neutron emission thresholds. The analysis of triple fragment-n-n correlations shows that the decay 19N(−1p) → 18C → 16C+n+n is clearly dominated by direct pair emission. The two-neutron correlation strength, the largest ever observed, suggests the predominance of a 14C core surrounded by four neutrons arranged in strongly correlated pairs. On the other hand, a significant competition of a sequential branch is found in the decay 21O(−1n) → 20O → 18O+n+n, attributed to its formation through the knockout of a deeply-bound neutron that breaks the 16O core and reduces the number of pairs.Moreover, unbound states in 26F and 28F have been studied. The two systems were probed using single-nucleon knockout reaction from secondary beams of 27F respectively in the case of 26F, and 29Ne and 29F for 28F. Five possible states have been identified in 26F, with in particular the lowest energy one (0.39 MeV) being identified as the 3+ state resulting from the d5/2 ⊗ d3/2 coupling. In the case of 28F, five unbound state have also been observed and in particular its ground state (200 keV) has been identified as a negative parity state, meaning that 28F is located inside the island of inversion.L’émission de paires de neutrons par les noyaux riches en neutrons 18C et 20O (isotones N = 12) est Ă©tudiĂ© par rĂ©actions de knock-out d’un nuclĂ©on des faisceaux secondaires 19N et 21O, peuplant ainsi des Ă©tats non liĂ©s jusqu’à 15 MeV au-dessus de leur seuil d’émission deux neutrons. L’analyse des corrĂ©lations des triples coĂŻncidences fragment+n+n montre que la dĂ©croissance 19N(−1p)→18C → 16C+n+n est clairement dominĂ©e par l’émission directe de paires. Les corrĂ©lations n-n, les plus grandes jamais observĂ©es, suggĂšrent la prĂ©dominance d’un coeur de 14C entourĂ© de quatre neutrons arrangĂ©s en paires trĂšs corrĂ©lĂ©es. De plus, une importante compĂ©tition du mode de dĂ©croissance sĂ©quentiel est observĂ©e dans la dĂ©croissance 21O(−1n) → 20O → 18O+n+n, interprĂ©tĂ©e par la dĂ©formation causĂ©e par le knock-out d’un neutron trĂšs liĂ© ayant pour effet de casser le cƓur de 16O et ainsi de rĂ©duire le nombre de paires.De plus, les Ă©tats non liĂ©s du 26F et 28F sont Ă©tudiĂ©s. Les deux systĂšmes Ă©tant peuplĂ©s par knock-out d’un nuclĂ©on du 27F dans le cas du 26F et du 29Ne ou du 29F pour 28F. Cinq Ă©tats ont Ă©tĂ© observĂ©s pour 26F avec en particulier l’état de plus basse Ă©nergie (0.39 MeV) identifiĂ© comme l’état 3+ rĂ©sultant du couplage d5/2 ⊗ d3/2 . Pour 28F, cinq Ă©tats ont aussi Ă©tĂ© observĂ©s et l’état fondamental (200 keV) a Ă©tĂ© identifiĂ© comme Ă©tant de paritĂ© nĂ©gative, plaçant ainsi 28F dans l’ülot d’inversion

    © 2022, The Author(s).We present the design, prototype developments and test results of the new time-of-flight detector (ToFD) which is part of the R3B experimental setup at GSI and FAIR, Darmstadt, Germany. The ToFD detector is able to detect heavy-ion residues of all charges at relativistic energies with a relative energy precision σΔE/ ΔE of up to 1% and a time precision of up to 14 ps (sigma). Together with an elaborate particle-tracking system, the full identification of relativistic ions from hydrogen up to uranium in mass and nuclear charge is possible.11Nsciescopu
