Light exotic systems at relativistic velocities Original Research Article

In this paper the results of a series of experiments, carried out at the GSI accelerator facilities in Darmstadt at the Aladin-LAND reaction setup are presented. Light nuclei at relativistic velocities, impinging on a carbon and a liquid hydrogen reaction target break up and all fragments are detected in coincidence. The observed correlations are used to draw conclusions on the underlying structure of the bound exotic projectiles as well as to explore continuum structures.
