The 8He(d,p) reaction was studied in inverse kinematics at 15.4A MeV using the MUST2 Si-CsI array in order to shed light on the level structure of 9He. The well known 16O(d,p)17O reaction, performed here in reverse kinematics, was used as a…
Search for the population of the low-energy continuum of a tetraneutron system was performed for reactions of the $^{8}$He beam on a deuterium target. These studies are based on the data [I.A. Muzalevskii \textit{et al.}, Phys.\ Rev.\ C…
Deformed multi-$\Lambda$ hypernuclei are studied within a relativistic mean-field model. In this paper, we take some $N=Z$ "hyper isotope" chains, i.e., $^{8+n}_{\ \ n\Lambda}{\rm Be}$, $^{20+n}_{\ \ \ n\Lambda}{\rm Ne}$, and $^{28+n}_{\ \…
