Abstract

The p(Li11,Li9)t reaction has been studied for the first time at an incident energy of 3AMeV at the new ISAC-2 facility at TRIUMF. An active target detector MAYA, built at GANIL, was used for the measurement. The differential cross sections have been determined for transitions to the Li9 ground and first excited states in a wide range of scattering angles. Multistep transfer calculations using different Li11 model wave functions show that wave functions with strong correlations between the halo neutrons are the most successful in reproducing the observation.
