Direct Reactions of Borromean Nuclei

摘要

There are so-called Borromean nuclei on the drip-line in the nuclear chart, where any two-body subsystem has no bound state. The exotic structure and responses of Borromean nuclei have been studied by measurements of three-body (final-state) channels produced via direct reactions. Measurement of the three-body decay of the isospin partner of light drip-line nuclei populated by the charge exchange reaction is discussed as a means for studying the neutron halo structure. Experimental efforts to study nuclei beyond the drip-line, where many-body resonances may appear, are also presented.
