Transfer, sequential decay, and quasi-free reactions induced by 18-MeV 6He beam on 6Li, 7Li, and 12C

The ⁶He + ^6,7Li and ⁶He + ¹²C scattering and reactions have been studied using an 18-MeV ⁶He beam. Experimental results for the elastic scattering on all three targets are in fair agreement with optical model predictions, using the potentials found in the analysis of the ⁶Li scattering on the same targets and at close beam energies. Several two-body exit channels show clear signatures of a direct reaction mechanism allowing extraction of spectroscopic information. The measured angular distribution for the ⁶He + ⁶Li → α + ⁸Li reaction indicated close similarity between the α + 2n configuration in ⁶He and the α + d configuration in ⁶Li. The obtained results for α-particle pickup from both ⁶Li and ⁷Li give large values of α spectroscopic factors for some ¹⁰Be states, indicating their well-developed α + ⁶He cluster structure. The exotic two-proton pickup reaction (⁶He, ⁸Be) was studied, as well as two-neutron and triton transfer reactions. Quasi-free scattering of ⁶He on deuteron and α particle in ⁶Li was also observed. The sequential decay reactions ⁶He + ⁶Li → ⁶He + α + d, ⁶He + ⁶Li → 2α + t + n, ⁶He + ⁷Li → ⁶He + α + t, and ⁶He + ¹²C → ¹⁰Be + 2α were clearly seen, and α clustering of some states in ^6,7Li, ^8–10Be, and ¹⁴C was thus studied. Several new spectroscopic results obtained for some ¹⁰Be states support the existence of a molecule-like rotational band in ¹⁰Be with a very large moment of inertia.
