A test experiment on determining the cluster structure of highly excited states of 6Li

Abstract

The paper presents the results of test measurements to determine the possibilities of studying the cluster structure of highly excited states of the 6Li nucleus in the 6Li(𝑛, 3He 𝑛) 3H reaction on the RADEX neutron channel of the Institute for Nuclear Research of the Russian Academy of Sciences. In the experiment, scattered neutrons were detected in coincidence with the decay products of highly excited states (helium-3). The first experimental data on the excitation energy of the 6Li nucleus have been obtained.
