Neutron-neutron correlations in halo nuclei

摘要

Work aimed at probing the spatial configuration of the valence neutrons in two-neutron halo nuclei using the technique of intensity interferometry is described. Following a brief review of the method and its application to our first measurements of the breakup of He-6, Li-11 and Be-14, the results of the analysis of a high statistics data set for He-6 are presented.
