Abstract

Coulomb breakup of the two-neutron halo nucleus 11Li has been investigated in a kinematically complete measurement of three-body breakup of 11Li on a Pb target at approximately 70 MeV/nucleon at RIKEN. Cross-talk events have been excluded without affecting the efficiency very much up to very low relative energy. The resultant preliminary B(E1) spectrum has revealed high (E1) strength at Erel (three-body relative energy) ∼0.3 MeV, which was missing in the previous measurements. This E1 strength with the help of the E1 cluster sum-rule indicates a significant neutron–neutron correlation in the ground state of 11Li.
