Description
The Modular Neutron Array (MoNA) in conjunction with the large-gap Sweeper magnet at the NSCL is an effective setup to explore neutron-unbound states. The recent addition of the Large-area multi-Institutional Scintillator Array (LISA) increased the efficiency and acceptance for the neutron detection.
Neutron-unbound nuclei beyond the dripline as well as neutron unbound excited states of bound nuclei have been populated using primarily proton removal reactions. The (d,p) reaction in inverse kinematics with a secondary 14Be beam on a CD2 target was used for the first time to measure 15Be. Results of other recent experiment including 10He, 10,12,13,Li, 12,13Be, and 19,21C will be presented.
