The low-energy behavior of the strength function for the 1− soft dipole excitation in 6He is studied theoretically. Use of very large basis sizes and well-grounded extrapolation procedures allows to ...move to energies as small as 1 keV, at which the low-energy asymptotic behavior of the E1 strength function seems to be achieved. It is found that the low-energy behavior of the strength function is well described in the effective three-body “dynamical dineutron model”. The astrophysical rate for the α+n+n→6He+γ is calculated. Comparison with the previous calculations is performed.
The method of asymptotic normalization coefficients is a standard approach for studies of two-body non-resonant radiative capture processes in nuclear astrophysics. This method suggests a fully ...analytical description of the radiative capture cross section in the low-energy region of the astrophysical interest. We demonstrate how this method can be generalized to the case of three-body 2p radiative captures. It was found that an essential feature of this process is the highly correlated nature of the capture. This reflects the complexity of three-body Coulomb continuum problem. Radiative capture 15O+p+p→17Ne+γ is considered as an illustration.
The proton and deuteron pickup reactions
and
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 soft dipole E1 strength function is calculated for the transition from the He60+ ground state to the 1- continuum He4+n+n. The calculations were performed within the hyperspherical harmonics ...formalism. The sensitivity of the results to the He6 ground-state structure and to final-state interactions, are analyzed. The large-basis calculations show the reliably converged results for soft dipole strength function and for momentum correlations of the He6→He4+n+n dissociation products. Transition mechanisms are analyzed based on the momentum correlations. The comparison with experimental data is provided.

An unusually large value of the C22 matter radius, extracted by Tanaka et al. Phys. Rev. Lett. 104, 062701 (2010)PRLTAO0031-900710.1103/PhysRevLett.104.062701 from measured reaction cross sections, ...attracted great attention of scientific community. Since that time, several experimental works related to the C22 nucleus have appeared in the literature. Some of the experimental data, measured with high accuracy, allow us to fix C22 structure more reliably. Two limiting models reproducing C22 nuclear structure within the three-body cluster approach, that allow us to describe all existing experimental data, are presented. The C22 ground state, continuum structure, and geometry are obtained. With fixed C22 wave function, the prediction for the soft dipole mode in C22, which is studied in the process of Coulomb fragmentation, is performed.
Coulomb and nuclear dissociation of Ne-17 on light and heavy targets are studied theoretically. The dipole E1 strength function is determined in a broad energy range including energies of ...astrophysical interest. Dependence of the strength function on different parameters of the Ne-17 ground-state structure and continuum dynamics is analyzed in a three-body model. The discovered dependence plays an important role for studies of the strength functions for the three-body E1 dissociation and radiative capture. The constraints on the s(2)/d(2) configuration mixing in Ne-17 and on p-wave interaction in the O-15+p channel are imposed based on experimental data for Ne-17 Coulomb dissociation on heavy target.
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 system H7 was studied in the direct H2(He8,He3)H7 transfer reaction with a 26 AMeV secondary He8 beam Bezbakh et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 124, 022502 ...(2020)PRLTAO0031-900710.1103/PhysRevLett.124.022502. The missing mass spectrum and center-of-mass angular distributions of H7, as well as the momentum distribution of the H3 fragment in the H7 frame, were constructed. In addition, we carried out another experiment with the same beam but a modified setup, which was cross-checked by the study of the H2(Be10,He3)Li9 reaction. A solid experimental evidence is provided that two resonant states of H7 are located in its spectrum at 2.2(5) and 5.5(3)MeV relative to the H3+4n decay threshold. Also, there are indications that the resonant states at 7.5(3) and 11.0(3)MeV are present in the measured H7 spectrum. Based on the energy and angular distributions, obtained for the studied H2(He8,He3)H7 reaction, the weakly populated 2.2(5)-MeV peak is ascribed to the H7 ground state. It is highly plausible that the firmly ascertained 5.5(3)-MeV state is the 5/2+ member of the H7 excitation 5/2+-3/2+ doublet, built on the 2+ configuration of valence neutrons. The supposed 7.5-MeV state can be another member of this doublet, which could not be resolved in Bezbakh et al. Phys. Rev. Lett. 124, 022502 (2020)PRLTAO0031-900710.1103/PhysRevLett.124.022502. Consequently, the two doublet members appeared in the spectrum of H7 in the work mentioned above as a single broad 6.5-MeV peak.

By considering only a small number of terms it is possible to extract the expansion coefficients directly from the experimental three-body correlations. This provides a model-independent way of getting information about the decay process, on the structure of the decaying nucleus and on the quantum characteristics of the binary subsystems.
