High-precision studies of the soft dipole mode in two-neutron halo nuclei: The He 6 case

Journal article, 2020

The soft dipole E1 strength function is calculated for the transition from the He60+ ground state to the 1- continuum He4+n+n. The calculations were performed within the hyperspherical harmonics formalism. The sensitivity of the results to the He6 ground-state structure and to final-state interactions, are analyzed. The large-basis calculations show the reliably converged results for soft dipole strength function and for momentum correlations of the He6→He4+n+n dissociation products. Transition mechanisms are analyzed based on the momentum correlations. The comparison with experimental data is provided.
