Invariant-mass spectroscopy of "1"0Li and "1"1Li

Abstract

Break-up of secondary "1"1Li ion beams (280 MeV/nucleon) on C and Pb targets into "9Li and neutrons is studied experimentally. Cross sections and neutron multiplicity distributions are obtained, characterizing different reaction mechanisms. Invariant-mass spectroscopy for "1"1Li and "1"0Li is performed. The E1 strength distribution, deduced from electromagnetic excitation of "1"1Li up to an excitation energy of 4 MeV comprises #approx#8% of the Thomas-Reiche-Kuhn energy-weighted sum-rule strength. Two low-lying resonance-like structures are observed for "1"0Li at decay energies of 0.21(5) and 0.62(10) MeV, the former one carrying 26(10)% of the strength and likely to be associated with an s-wave neutron decay. A strong di-neutron correlation in "1"1Li can be discarded. Calculations in a quasi-particle RPA approach are compared with the experimental results for "1"0Li and "1"1Li.
