Abstract
Measurements of the helium-cluster breakup and neutron removal cross sections for neutron-rich Be isotopes Be-10-12,Be-14 and B-14 are presented. These have been studied in the 30 to 42 MeV/u energy range where reaction measurements are proposed to be sensitive to the cluster content of the ground-state wave-function. These measurements provide a comprehensive survey of the decay processes of the Be isotopes by which the valence neutrons are removed revealing the underlying alpha-alpha core-cluster structure. These are compared with the break-up of the non-cluster nucleus B-14.
