In neutron-rich $^8$He, we study the soft dipole resonance, which is regarded as a dipole oscillation of four valence neutrons against the $^4$He core, and its effect on the low-energy electric dipole strength with a $^4$He+$n$+$n$+$n$+$n$…
We investigate the multineutron excitations of neutron-rich $^8$He in the electric dipole strength using a $^4$He+$n$+$n$+$n$+$n$ five-body model. Many-body unbound states of $^8$He are obtained in the complex scaling method. We found that…
