Strong neutron pairing in core+4n nuclei

The emission of neutron pairs from the neutron-rich N = 12 isotones ¹⁸C and ²⁰O has been studied by high-energy nucleon knockout from ¹⁹N and ²¹O secondary beams, populating unbound states of the two isotones up to 15 MeV above their two-neutron emission thresholds. The analysis of triple fragment-n...
