Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We have studied properties of very neutron-rich nuclear matter in order to elucidate the key properties of neutron star matter. (1)We have studied the pygmy dipole resonance in neutron-rich Ca isotopes using the newly constructed gamma-ray calorimeter. (2)We performed Coulomb breakup experiments of the two-neutron halo nuclei 19C and 19B, where enhanced electric dipole strengths are observed. This suggests dineutron correlation in these nuclei. We have found deformation-driven halo configuration for 31Ne and neighboring nuclei for the first time. (3) We have found evidence of the tetra-neutron state by the double charge exchange reaction. We have successfully measured precisely the mass of 26O, which was found barely unbound with respect to two-neutron emission. We have also successfully measured 28O for the first time. The nuclear interactions and many-body effects clarified by these experiments may shed light on the properties of neutron stars.
