Abstract
The possibility of producing exotic 6He nuclei in the 7Li(γ, p) reaction with 22 MeV electron beam at the MT-25 microtron in the Flerov Laboratory of Nuclear Reactions, Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (FLNR JINR), is studied. The 6He yield from the Li2CO3 target made up 6 × 105 s−1 per 1 μA of the electron beam current. The obtained result is quite promising, taking into account the further improvement of the target unit, the possibility of using another lithium compound, and the increase in the target material temperature and the electron beam current up to 20 μA. The application of this approach for the further production of a monochromatic beam of accelerated 6He nuclei with an intensity on the order of 107 s−1 would make a large number of experiments on investigating the structure of this nucleus and the mechanisms of nuclear reactions with its participation feasible. This method for obtaining 6He nuclei may turn out to be one of the most optimal (and inexpensive) currently available.
