Background: The four-neutron correlation has been attracting much attention for decades. In addition to the study on the tetra-neutron system, it is worthwhile to investigate the correlation in bound systems. Purpose: The $^8$He nucleus is…
The hyper-radial barrier strongly hinders formation of more than three clusters. We investigate how well the dominating cluster components in $^7$He and $^8$He, respectively can be described as $\alpha$+$n$+$^2n$ and $\alpha$+$^2n$+$^2n$,…
We present a scattering model for nuclei with similar masses. In this three-body model, the projectile has a core+valence structure, whereas the target is identical to the core nucleus. The three-body wave functions must be symmetrized for…
We discuss the extension of the oscillator-basis $J$-matrix formalism on the case of true $A$-body scattering. The formalism is applied to loosely-bound $^{11}$Li and $^6$He nuclei within three-body cluster models ${\rm {^9Li}}+n+n$ and…
