The group state of 10He was populated using a 2p2n-removal from a 59 MeV/u 14Be beam. The decay energy of the three body system, 8He + n + n, was measured and a resonance was observed at E = 1.60(25) MeV with a 1.8(4) MeV width. This result is in agreement with previous invariant mass spectroscopy measurements, using the 11Li(-p) reaction, but is consistent with recent transfer reaction results. The proposed explanation that the difference, about 500 keV, is due to the effect of the extended halo nature of 11Li in the one-proton knockout reaction is …

We calculate the number density, energy density, transverse pressure, longitudinal pressure and magnetization of an ensemble of spin one-half particles in the presence of a homogeneous background magnetic field. The magnetic field direction breaks spherical symmetry causing the pressure parallel to it. We present explicit formulae appropriate at zero and finite temperature for both charged and uncharged particles including the effect of the anomalous magnetic moment. We demonstrate that the resulting expressions satisfy the canonical relations, omega = -PII and Pperpendicular = PII- MB with M = (delta)(omega)/(delta)(beta) being the magnetization of the system. We numerically …
