Radiative proton capture on 6He

Abstract

Radiative capture of protons is investigated as a probe of clustering in nuclei far from stability. The first such measurement on a halo nucleus is reported here for the reaction 6He(p,γ) at 40 MeV. Capture into 7Li is observed as the strongest channel. In addition, events have been recorded that may be described by quasi-free capture on a halo neutron, the α core and 5He. The possibility of describing such events by capture into the continuum of 7Li is also discussed.
