Abstract

In this contribution, a preliminary analysis of the first part of the experiment S2012 conducted at the ISAC-II facility of Canada’s particle accelerator center TRIUMF in Vancouver will be presented. The experiment aims to study highly clustered structures of nuclei created in multi-nucleon transfer reactions of ⁹Li radioactive beam on natural boron target (¹¹B and ¹⁰B). The main objective of the experiment is to study exotic structures created in neutron-rich ¹⁶C nucleus in the range of higher excitation energies. The analysis presented here probes the existence of exotic cluster configurations and the quality of detected results using the invariant mass techniques.
