Abstract

The method of sequential neutron decay spectroscopy beginning with a primary beam of 60 MeV/nucleon 48Ca was investigated as a potential tool to measure unbound resonances in neutron-rich nuclei. Neutrons were measured in coincidence with fragments, and unbound resonances were observed for 10Li, 12,13Be, and 23O. The method is currently limited to resonances with small decay energies ( E decay ≲ 100 keV ) in lighter ( Z ⩽ 10 ) nuclei, and the possibility of extending it to heavier, more neutron-rich nuclei will be discussed.
