Abstract

In this contribution, a set of results will be given of an experiment performed at LNS-INFN with a 54 MeV Be beam and a Be target. The experimental setup consists of four highly segmented telescopes covering polar angles from 20 to 90 degrees which enable particle identification using traditional deltaE–E techniques. The 10Be+9Be reactions are measured to get information on different types of structures of several light nuclei. Special attention is given to a search for cluster states in 14C and 15C. The experimental signature of these processes would be the first indication of the existence of cluster states inside the 15C nucleus, while a positive result for the 14C isotope would help to clear up the contradicting findings of other authors. The results for 14C and 15C are not yet fully interpreted, so here we show the 13C excitation energies coming from the 6He single detections and 6He+4He coincidences.
