The recent experiment with a new array detector aiming the investigation of halo neutron pair pre-emission in Si( 11 Li, fusion) is described. A new approach for testing the true n-n coincidences against cross-talk has been worked out. An experimental evidence for residual correlation of the pre-emitted halo neutrons is presented. The results obtained in building the nn correlation functions by using the available denominators are discussed. A recent iterative method for calculation of the intrinsic correlation function was also applied. An experiment for precise measurement of the intrinsic nn correlation function is proposed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
