The 6Be continuum states were populated in the charge-exchange reaction
1H(6Li,6Be)n collecting very high statistics data (∼5×106 events) on the three-body α+p+p correlations. The
6Be excitation energy region below ∼3 MeV is considered, where the
data are dominated by contributions from the 0+ and 2+ states. It is
demonstrated how the high-statistics few-body correlation data can be used to
extract detailed information on the reaction mechanism. Such a derivation is
based on the fact that highly spin-aligned states are typically populated in
the direct reactions.Comment: submitted to Physical Review
