The proton and deuteron pickup reactions

were studied with the
radioactive beam produced by the new fragment separator ACCULINNA-2 at FLNR, JINR. These measurements were initially motivated as ...the test reactions intended for the elucidation of results obtained in the study of the extremely neutron-rich
H and
H systems created in the
and
reactions with the use of the same setup. In the
reaction the
Li ground-state (
) and its first excited state (2.69 MeV,
) were identified in the low-energy region of its excitation spectrum. The differential cross sections for the
population were extracted at the forward center-of-mass angles (
) and compared with the FRESCO calculations. Spectroscopic factor of
, derived by a model suggesting the
clustering was found in accord with the experimental data. The energy spectrum of
Li populated in the
reaction shows the strong peak which corresponds to the excitation of the second excited state of
Li (2.25 MeV,
). The fact that the ground and the first excited states of
Li were not observed in this reaction is consistent with the shell-model structure of the nuclei involved.

The extremely neutron-rich system H6 was studied in the direct H2(He8,He4)H6 transfer reaction with a 26A MeV secondary He8 beam. The measured missing mass spectrum shows a broad bump at ≈4-8 MeV ...above the H3+3n decay threshold. This bump can be interpreted as a broad resonant state in H6 at 6.8(5) MeV. The population cross section of such a presumably p-wave state (or it may be few overlapping states) in the energy range from 4 to 8 MeV is dσ/dωc.m.≃190-80+40μb/sr in the angular range 5°<θc.m.<16°. The obtained missing mass spectrum is practically free of H6 events below 3.5 MeV (dσ/dωc.m. 5μb/sr in the same angular range). The steep rise of the H6 missing mass spectrum at ≈3 MeV allows us to derive the lower limit for the possible resonant-state energy in H6 to be 4.5(3) MeV. According to the paring energy estimates, such a 4.5(3) MeV resonance is a realistic candidate for the H6 ground state (g.s.). The obtained results confirm that the decay mechanism of the H7 g.s. (located at 2.2 MeV above the H3+4n threshold) is the "true"(or simultaneous) 4n emission. The resonance energy profiles and the momentum distributions of fragments of the sequential H6→H5(g.s.)+n→H3+3n decay were analyzed by the theoretically updated direct four-body-decay and sequential-emission mechanisms. The measured momentum distributions of the H3 fragments in the H6 rest frame indicate very strong "dineutron-type"correlations in the H5 ground state decay.

The extremely neutron-rich systems 7H, 6H were studied in the 2H(8He, 3He)7H and 2H(8He, 4He)6H proton and deuteron pickup reactions with a 26 AMeV secondary 8He beam produced at the new ACCULINNA-2 ...fragment separator. In addition, the same proton and deuteron pickup reactions were generated using the 42 AMeV 10Be beam, and the population of low-lying 9Li and 8Li states was measured in reactions 2H(10Be,3He)9Li and 2H(10Be,4He)8Li, respectively. The latter were used as reference measurements in order to check the setup calibration over the excitation energy of 7,6H and to determine the real experimental energy resolution which was compared with Monte Carlo calculations. The corresponding results obtained for the superheavy hydrogen systems 7H, 6H are presented and discussed. Typical excitation spectra of the 9Li and 8Li nuclei are also shown.

Search for the population of the low-energy continuum of tetraneutron system was performed for reactions of the \(^{8}\)He beam on deuterium target. These studies are performed for the data I.A. ...Muzalevskii et al., Phys. Rev. C 103, 044313 (2021), previously used for the studies of \(^{7}\)H and \(^{6}\)H in the \(^2\text{H}(^8\text{He},{^3\text{He}})^{7}\)H and \(^2\text{H}(^8\text{He},{^4\text{He}})^{6}\)H reactions. Evidence for a hump in the \(^4n\) continuum at \(3.5 \pm 0.7\) and \(3.2 \pm 0.8\) MeV, was observed in the \(^2\)H(\(^8\)He,\(^6\)Li)\(^4\)n and \(^2\)H(\(^8\)He,\(^3\)He)\(^7\)H\(\rightarrow ^3\)H+\(^4\)n reactions, respectively. The observed statistics is quite low (6 and up to 40 events) corresponding to very low cross sections of few microbarns or tens of microbarns. The background conditions for the \(^2\)H(\(^8\)He,\(^6\)Li)\(^4n\) reaction are shown to be good, favoring the physical nature of the observed events. The \(^2\)H(\(^8\)He,\(^3\)He)\(^7\)H\(\rightarrow ^3\)H+\(^4n\) process transforms to the \(^2\)H(\(^8\)He,\(^6\)Li\(^{\ast})^4n\) reaction in the limit of the highest \(^7\)H decay energies. The population of the low-energy region in the \(^{4}\)n spectrum is found to be perfectly correlated with the population of the lowest \(^{6}\)Li states in the \(^{3}\)He+\(^{3}\)H continuum. Theoretical calculations of \(^{8}\)He in a five-body \(\alpha\)+\(4n\) and of \(^{4}\)n in a four-body hyperspherical models are presented. The \(^{8}\)He wave function is shown to contain strong specific correlations, which may give rise to very low-energy structures in tetraneutron continuum in extreme-peripheral reaction scenarios.
Setup fitting the requirements for the detailed study of the five-body decay
of the 7H nucleus obtained as a result of the proton transfer from the 8He
projectiles to the deuterium target nuclei is ...being built at the radioactive
beam line of ACCULINNA-2 separator in the G.N. Flerov Laboratory of Nuclear

intended for neutron detection, the annular Si detector telescope for the 3He

The proton and deuteron pickup reactions 2H(10Be,3He)9Li and 2H(10Be,4He)8Li radioactive beam produced by the new fragment separator ACCULINNA-2 at FLNR, JINR\@. These measurements were initially ...motivated as test reactions intended for the elucidation of results obtained in the study of the extremely neutron-rich 7H and 6H systems created in the 2H(10Be,3He)9Li and 2H(10Be,4He)8Li reactions using the same setup. In the 2H(10Be,3He)9Li reaction the 9Li ground-state (\(3/2^-\)) and its first excited state (2.69MeV, \(1/2^-\)) were identified in the low-energy region of its excitation spectrum. The differential cross sections for the 9Li g.~s.) population were extracted at forward center-of-mass angles (\(3^\circ-13^\circ\)) and compared with the FRESCO calculations. Spectroscopic factor of \(\sim 1.7\), derived by a model for the 10Be\( = p +\)9Li(g.s.) clustering was found in accord with the experimental data. The energy spectrum of 8Li populated in the 2H(10Be,4He)8Li reaction shows the strong peak which corresponds to excitation of the second excited state of 8Li (2.25 MeV, \(3^+\)). The fact that the ground and the first excited states of 8Li were not observed is fully consistent with Shell-Model calculations carried out for the 10Be g.\,s. and 8Li level structure applying momentum selection rules.
The extremely neutron-rich system $^{6}$H was studied in the direct
$^2\text{H}(^8\text{He},{^4\text{He}})^{6}$H transfer reaction with a $26 A$
MeV secondary $^{8}$He beam. The measured missing mass ...spectrum shows a broad
bump at $\sim 4-8$ MeV above the $^3$H+$3n$ decay threshold. This bump can be
interpreted as a broad resonant state in $^{6}$H at $6.8(5)$ MeV. The
population cross section of such a presumably $p$-wave state (or may be few
overlapping states) in the energy range from 4 to 8 MeV is
$d\sigma/d\Omega_{\text{c.m.}} \simeq 190^{+40}_{-80}$ $\mu$b/sr in the angular
range $5^{\circ}<\theta_{\text{c.m.}}<16^{\circ}$. The obtained missing mass
spectrum is practically free of the $^{6}$H events below 3.5 MeV
($d\sigma/d\Omega_{\text{c.m.}} \lesssim 5$ $\mu$b/sr in the same angular
range). The steep rise of the $^{6}$H missing mass spectrum at $\sim 3$ MeV
allows to derive the lower limit for the possible resonant-state energy in
$^{6}$H to be $4.5(3)$ MeV. According to the paring energy estimates, such a
$4.5(3)$ MeV resonance is a realistic candidate for the $^{6}$H ground state
(g.s.). The obtained results confirm that the decay mechanism of the $^{7}$H
g.s.\ (located at 2.2 MeV above the $^{3}$H+$4n$ threshold) is the "true" (or
simultaneous) $4n$ emission. The resonance energy profiles and the momentum
distributions of fragments of the sequential $^{6}$H$ \,\rightarrow \,
^5$H(g.s.)+$n\, \rightarrow \, ^3$H+$3n$ decay were analyzed by the
theoretically-updated direct four-body-decay and sequential-emission
mechanisms. The measured momentum distributions of the $^{3}$H fragments in the
$^{6}$H rest frame indicate very strong "dineutron-type" correlations in the
$^{5}$H ground state decay.
