Low energy structures in nuclear reactions with 4n in the final state

Abstract: We present a reaction model to describe the fast removal of the $\alpha$-particle core in $^8$He nucleus with eventual emission of four neutrons. The obtained four neutron energy distributions allows to explain the sharp low energy peak observed by studying the missing mass spectra of four neutrons in [Nature Vol. 606, p. 678], as a consequence of dineutron-dineutron correlations.
