Abstract

The spectroscopic study of unbound states in the 6Li nucleus was performed by measuring the energy spectrum of the alpha-particles emitted from the transfer reaction ³He(7Li, alpha)6Li. The 7Li beam at E Lab = 31.2MeV was produced at the São Paulo Pelletron accelerator. A ³He gas cell was used as target. alpha-Particle spectra were measured from thetaLab = 8º up to thetaLab = 20º with steps of 1º. Due to its positive Q = +13.3MeV, the ³He(7Li, alpha)6Li reaction favours the population of states in 6Li at high excitations energies up to about 20MeV. We observed resonances at 17.29MeV, 15.31MeV, and a new state at 12.45MeV, in addition to all previously known states of 6Li. An <FONT FACE=Symbol>Â</FONT>-Matrix analysis was performed and the positions and widths of these states were extracted.
