Abstract

The neutron decay of

{}^{10}{Li}

, produced in the reaction of 80 MeV/nucleon

{}^{18}O

+

{}^{nat}C

, was studied by the coincidence detection of neutrons and

{}^{9}{Li}

nuclei in a collinear geometry. An analysis of the relative velocity spectrum indicates the presence of a

{}^{10}{Li}

state which decays by very low energy neutron emission. This state corresponds to either the ground state of

{}^{10}{Li}

, in which case it is probably an s-wave resonance, or an excited state at

E_{x}

≊2.5 MeV.
