Measurement of two-halo neutron transfer reaction p($^{11}$Li,$^{9}$Li)t at 3$A$ MeV


Abstract in English

The p( uc{11}{Li}, uc{9}{Li})t reaction has been studied for the first time at an incident energy of 3$A$ MeV delivered by the new ISAC-2 facility at TRIUMF. An active target detector MAYA, build at GANIL, was used for the measurement. The differential cross sectionshave been determined for transitions to the uc{9}{Li} ground andthe first excited states in a wide range of scattering angles. Multistep transfer calculations using different uc{11}{Li} model wave functions, shows that wave functions with strong correlations between the halo neutrons are the most successful in reproducing the observation.
