Description

Recently, we have completed a measurement of beta-decay of 6He focusing on a very weak decay branch with emission of a deuteron. The bunches of 6He ions were delivered by the REX-Isolde and implanted into the Optical Time Projection Chamber, were their decays were recorded. Decay events of 6He into an alpha particle and a deuteron were clearly observed. Preliminary results of this experiment will be presented.
