Unstable nuclei in dissociation of light stable and radioactive nuclei in nuclear track emulsion


Abstract in English

A role of the unstable nuclei ${}^{6}$Be, ${}^{8}$Be and ${}^{9}$B in the dissociation of relativistic nuclei ${}^{7,9}$Be, ${}^{10}$B and ${}^{10,11}$C is under study on the basis of nuclear track emulsion exposed to secondary beams of the JINR Nuclotron. Contribution of the configuration ${}^{6}$Be + $mit{n}$ to the ${}^{7}$Be nucleus structure is 8 $pm$ 1% which is near the value for the configuration ${}^{6}$Li + $mit{p}$. Distributions over the opening angle of $alpha$-particle pairs indicate to a simultaneous presence of virtual ${}^{8}$Be$_{g.s.}$ and ${}^{8}$Be$_{2^+}$ states in the ground states of the ${}^{9}$Be and ${}^{10}$C nuclei. The core ${}^{9}$B is manifested in the {${}^{10}$C} nucleus with a probability of 30 $pm$ 4%. Selection of the ${}^{10}$C white stars accompanied by ${}^{8}$Be$_{g.s.}$ (${}^{9}$B) leads to appearance in the excitation energy distribution of 2$alpha$2$mit{p}$ quartets of the distinct peak with a maximum at 4.1 $pm$ 0.3 MeV. ${}^{8}$Be$_{g.s.}$ decays are presented in 24 $pm$ 7% of 2He + 2H events of the ${}^{11}$C coherent dissociation and 27 $pm$ 11% of the 3He ones. The channel ${}^{9}$B + H amounts 14 $pm$ 3%. The ${}^{8}$Be$_{g.s.}$ nucleus is manifested in the coherent dissociation ${}^{10}$B $to$ 2He + H with a probability of 25 $pm$ 5% including 14 $pm$ 3% of ${}^{9}$B decays. A probability ratio of the mirror channels ${}^{9}$B + $mit{n}$ and ${}^{9}$Be + $mit{p}$ is estimated to be 6 $pm$ 1.
