An attempt was made to find the very neutron-rich isotope 21 B among the fragmentation of a 94A MeV 40 Ar beam. Evidence for the particle instability of 21 B was obtained. As part of the search, the production cross sections of 13 light neutron-rich nuclei with Be and Ta targets are presented and compared to previous data. A large enhancement of the production cross sections for a Ta target is shown and a clear energy dependence of the production cross sections is shown for very neutron-rich nuclei.

Experimental search for the superheavy 7H isotope was performed in the reaction p(8He,pp)7H with the 8He beam at 61.3A MeV. The evidence for existence of the 7H state near the t+4n threshold was obtained. In the same experiment, the p(8He,t) reaction populating the ground and excited 2(+) state of 6He was investigated. The obtained results argue on a specific structure of the 8He ground state containing the 6He subsystem in the excited 2(+) state with a large weight.
