Zakopane 2026 Conference on Nuclear Physics

The 4n system 8He, comprising several features of a 2n and 4n sub-system is interesting by its internal correlations leading to the possibility to study several aspects of clustering in light nuclei. 8He, in particular it’s coulomb breakup, studied in a recent experiment, will be presented and discussed. The relation to previously obtained information will be drawn and future prospects arising at the FAIR facility will be presented.
