Abstract

The ⁶He+^12,14C scattering and reactions have been studied using a 35 MeV ⁶He radioactive beam and preliminary results are presented. The three-body reaction ⁶He+¹²C ↦ ¹⁰Be+2 α has been clearly identified and sequential decay of intermediate states in ¹⁴C has been studied. Search for an analog reaction on ¹⁴C, ⁶He+¹⁴C ↦ ¹²Be+2 α, has not given conclusive results yet. Other interesting reactions with this entrance channel are discussed.
