Background:Measurements of neutron-unbound states can test nuclear models in very neutron-rich nuclei that, in some cases, cannot be probed with other methods.Purpose:Search for highly excited neutron-unbound states ofabove the three-neutron separation energy.Method:The decay energy ofwas reconstructed using the invariant mass spectroscopy method. A 101.3-MeV/ubeam collided with a liquid-deuterium target. Two-proton removal reactions populated excitedthat decayed into three neutrons and anfragment. The neutrons were detected by arrays of plastic scintillator bars, whereas a 4-Tm dipole magnet placed directly after the target redirected charged fragments to a series of charged-particle detectors. The data were compared with detailed Monte Carlo simulations of the reaction process and subsequent decay.Results:The data show evidence of neutron-unbound level(s) inat an excitation energy of about 9 MeV which decay sequentially by the emission of three neutrons to.Conclusion:The observation of resonance strength inat about 9 MeV is consistent with shell-model and eikonal calculations for the two-proton removal reaction from.
