Abstract

The spectroscopy in the continuum of light nuclei such as ^{6,7}Li, ^{8,9}Be and others still remains a relatively unexplored field, and the ability to produce these nuclei from entrance channels involving exotic nuclei is relatively recent. The present project consists in the measurement of angular distribution and excitation function of the 6He+p system, that will provide information about the structure of compound nucleus 7Li. The study of 7Li states in the region of excitation energies around the fusion threshold for 6He+p is interesting since it can provide information about isobaric analog states of 7He, which is a very exotic nucleus.Moreover, measurements of p(6He,alpha) and p(6He,d) reactions will be performed. In this project we will use the double solenoid system RIBRAS.
