Abstract
The structure of the neutron unbound system 10Li is not yet fully determined. The low-lying level structure of 10Li is important for describing the 9Li core plus neutron interaction which plays a role in 2n-halo systems 11Li. In the ground state, the neutron is unbound by about 25 keV which has been understood as an s-wave scattering state in neutron decay experiments. The 10Li system can be explored by investigating T=2 isobaric analogue states in 10Be. Here we present preliminary experimental results with the TexAT-TPC to measure the excitation function of those T=2 states in 10Be via 9Li(p,p)9Li.
