We offer to your attention a preprint “Detector array for the ⁷H nucleus multi-neutron decay study” E13-2022-56 published by the JINR Publishing Department. The authors are Bezbakh A. A. et al.

A setup fitting the requirements for the detailed study of the five-body decay of the ⁷H nucleus obtained as a result of the proton transfer from the ⁸He projectiles to the deuterium target nuclei is being built at the radioactive beam line of the ACCULINNA-2 separator at the Flerov Laboratory of Nuclear Reactions. Described here are the assembly of 100 BC-404 plastic scintillators, intended for neutron detection, the annular Si detector telescope for the ³He recoils, and the detector array providing the Δ E–E–ToF registration of ³H nuclei emitted at the ⁷H decay. Results obtained by the Monte Carlo simulations made for the energy values and flight passes of all these particles are given together with the luminosity expected for the experiments discussed.

The study has been carried out at the Flerov Laboratory of Nuclear Reactions.
