Abstract

The study of tt+tt cluster states in 6^{6}He provides valuable insights into exotic nuclear structures and the behavior of fermionic cluster systems. This study shows rich cluster resonant state structures above the threshold, identified by experimental reconstruction and theoretical calculations. The excitation energy spectrum above the tt+tt threshold in 6^{6}He is measured via the fragmentation excitation process during the breakup reaction of 9^{9}Li on a 208^{208}Pb target at an incident energy of 32.7 MeV/nucleon. The resonant states are reconstructed from the final state coincident particles tt+tt using the invariant mass method, while the non-resonant background is estimated using the event mixing method. Two states of energy level peaks at 13.9±0.313.9\pm0.3 and 15.0±0.315.0\pm0.3 MeV are observed. Microscopic cluster model calculations exploring the t+tt+t resonant states in 6He^6\mathrm{He} yield theoretical energy spectra which are then compared with the current experimental results. The calculated reduced width amplitudes (RWA) of the t+tt+t channels further confirm the clustering structure of the identified t+tt+t resonant states.
