Description
Whether multi-neutron systems can exist as weakly bound states or very short-lived unbound resonant states has been a long standing quest. The experimental search for such systems has been going for six decades, with a particular focus on the four-neutron system, the tetraneutron, resulting in up to date only few indications for its existence.
In this talk I will present a recent experiment performed at the RIKEN Nishina Center in Japan. The measurement was conducted at the SAMURAI setup using the quasi-elastic knockout of an alpha particle from a high-energy 8He projectile induced by a proton target to populate a possible tetraneutron state.
