n_TOF Collaboration Meeting 2006, Paris, 4-5 Dec. Fig.1. Schematic representation of collision 11Li + Si target Fig.2. Schematic representation of collision 11Li + C target One can see from Fig.1 and Fig. 2 that there is a marked difference In the screening between the Si and the C targets. In Table I it is shown that the two neutron pre-emission probability P{2}calculated by sharp-cutoff is 0.492 for C target and 0.144 for Si tar-get, that is by about 3.5 times larger for C target than for Si target.
n_TOF Collaboration Meeting 2006, Paris, 4-5 Dec. Fig. 1. This fig. is taken from ref. [1]. In the insert is shown the Cnn correlation function for 11Li calculated by using a 3-body model [1]. The minimum in the insert is due to the coherence bet-ween the 2 halo neutrons. In Table 3 it is shown that the new theory can be tested (Case 2) for a statistics of nn predicted in previous attached paper. [1] M.T.Yamashita et al., Phys. Rev. C72, 011601(R) (2005)
