  1. Probing 11Li halo-neutrons correlations via (p,t) reaction with the active target MAYA T. ROGER (GANIL)

  2. State of the art of 11Li (non exhaustive!) • Matter radius measurement of 11Li (1) • 1st observation of halo phenomenon • Momentum distribution of core-neutrons (2,3,4) • Momentum correlations • Role of s & p-wave mixing • Coulomb disociation of 11Li (5,6) • 3 body model w.f. with 2n correlations • Charge & matter radii measurements (7,8) • Angular correlations of the neutrons (1) I.

  3. Method • Probing halo structure via transfer reaction  1 nucleon transfer : probes spectroscopy  2 nucleons transfer : probes strength of correlation  extraction of angular distributions + DWBA analysis = informations on the structure of the halo  Study of the 2-neutron transfer reaction on a proton target Experiment E1055 (2-neutron transfer)

  4. Experimental system TISOL source + ISAC II accelerator  up to 5kHz of 11Li @ 5A MeV  Low energy + Low beam intensity  Use of Active Target!

  5. Experimental system

  6. The active target MAYA C.E. Demonchy et al. (Nucl. Instrum . Methods A 573, 145 (2007))

  9. CM = 145° E9Li = 19.1 MeV Et = 36.3 MeV <dE/dx>t = 1.5keV/mm CM = 35° E9Li = 53.9 MeV Et = 1.4 MeV Rt = 50mm d t 9Li 11Li p étage « ΔE » : gaz (5cm) + étage « E » : Si (700µm) étage « ΔE » : Si (700µm) + étage « E » : CsI (3cm) Selection of particles • Selection of the ions : ΔE - E  2 solid identification stages + 1 gazeous stage  large dynamic for the selection •  11Li mass : • S2n = 386 (20) keV  At least 1 identified particle from 20° CM to 160°CM

  10. 2-neutron transfer : results • Angular distributions for transitions to 9Li (GS) & 9Li* (2.69 MeV) p(11Li,9Li)t @ 3A MeV (I.Tanihata) p(11Li,9Li)t @ 4.3A MeV (T.Roger)

  11. E11 G.S. Rm rms (s1/2)2 wt (p1/2)2 wt (MeV)‏ (fm)‏ (%)‏ (%)‏ p sequentials P0 -0.33 3.05 3 94 s 10Li P2 -0.32 3.39 31 64 9Li (G.S.) 11Li: s2 & p2 P3 0.33 3.64 54 51 simultaneous CRC Calculations (I.J.

  12. CRC Calculations (I.J. Thompson) • Simultaneous Transfers • Use 3-body wave functions <p|t> and <9Li|11Li> • The relative neutron-neutron states must be equal • One Direct Step • Need p+11Li and t+9Li Optical Potentials • Becchetti & Greenlees global optical potential • Sequential Transfers • Use 2-body wave functions <p|d> & <d|t>, and <9Li|10Li> & <10Li|11Li> • Should have complete sets of d* and 10Li* wfs: • d bound state only • 10Li* s-wave and p-wave only • Two successive steps • Need d+10Li Optical Potential • Daehnick et al global optical potential

  13. CRC Calculations (I.J. Thompson) Simultaneous 2n-transfer Sequential 2n-transfer • Shapes vary • Shows interference between s- and p-wave parts of 10Li. • Note: this interference will diminish if a complete set of 10Li states included at same energies. • (May reappear when energies in 10Li* included properly) • Magnitude varies • shows s2 strengths in the 11Li w.f.

  14. 4.3A MeV 3A MeV Results I. Tanihata et al. (Phys. Rev. Lett. 100, 192502 (2008))  P2 and P3 ~ reproduce the amplitudes  ... but minimum missed by ~20°  Not easy to come to a conclusion yet!!

  15. Perspectives • Use a more realistic optical potential :  Try to reproduce elastic scattering data • CH89 potential : • WS > 0 !! • large radius • JLM potential • 3 parameters (normalisation V, W & data) • Re-Normalisation of data necessary!!!  More realistic calculations i.e. include coupling to 1n transfer channel ( like 1H(8He,6He)t : N.Keeley et al. (Phys. Lett. B 646, 222 (2007)) )

  16. Perspectives  Do the experiment at higher energy (get rid of compound nucleus effects) No compound nucleus effect for (p,t) … but strong resonance populated by (p,p)!! ( IAS of 12Li(G.S.)!!)  20A MeV 11Li beam possible at RCNP (Osaka) ?

  17. Perspectives • Study the transition to 9Li (2.69) more into details  Excited core configuration for 11Li (G.S.)???  To be continued...
