Re-measurement of the <sup>4</sup>He(<sup>8</sup>He,<sup>8</sup>Be) reaction

ORAL

Abstract

 The 4He(8He,8Be)4n reaction has been measured again at 186 AMeV for studying the 4n system (tetra-neutron). interest on the tetra-neutron system was attracted by a candidate resonance in ref. [1].  A new measurement with higher statistics and better accuracy are anticipated for more detailed study of the tetra-neutron system.

 The intensity of the 8He beam was approximately twice that in the previous experiment (3.5 × 106 cps at the target). For the absolute calibration of the missing-mass, we measure the 1H(3H,3He) reaction at 310 AMeV without changing the settings of the beamline magnets and the SHARAQ spectrometer, since the magnetic regidities of the 186 AMeV 8He and the 310 AMeV 3H are the same. In the preliminary result,  the accuracy of the excitation energy of 4n is evaluated to be approximately 100 keV.

  In this contribution, we will report the current status of the data analysis of the present experiment for understandings of the tetra-neutron system.
