Description

Break-up of secondary 11Li ion beams (280 MeV/nucleon) on C and Pb targets into 9Li and neutrons is studied experimentally. Cross sections and neutron multiplicity distributions are obtained, characterizing different reaction mechanisms. Invariant-mass spectroscopy for 11Li and 10Li is performed. The E1 strength distribution, deduced from electromagnetic excitation of 11Li up to an excitation energy of 4 MeV comprises ∼8% of the Thomas-Reiche-Kuhn energy-weighted sum-rule strength. Two low-lying resonance-like structures are observed for 10Li at decay energies of 0.21(5) and 0.62(10) MeV, the former one carrying 26(10)% of the strength and likely to be associated with an s-wave neutron decay. A strong di-neutron correlation in 11Li can be discarded. Calculations in a quasi-particle RPA approach are compared with the experimental results for 10Li and 11Li. (orig.)
