“…Moreover, a campaign of tests and simulations on the new diagnostics and tagging system based on SiC technology has started. Finally, the experimental apparatus will also be improved, in particular by adding the new NArCOS hodoscope [33,34,35], currently under development by the CHIRONE collaboration, that will provide information on the neutron emissions in cluster break-up reactions allowing for the reconstruction of complete events.…”

The study of clustering states in neutron-rich nuclei is an important subject of research in the field of nuclear physics, steadily growing in interest in the international scientific community. In this context, break-up reactions play an important role for the characterization of exotic states in radioactive light nuclei, like neutron halos around stable cores, α-clustering structures or exotic clusters. The CLIR (Clusters in Light Ion Reactions) experiment was performed at INFN - Laboratori Nazionali del Sud (LNS), aiming at the investigation of such states in light radioactive nuclei, by producing a radioactive beam at the FRIBs facility. Reaction products were detected by the CHIMERA multidetector, coupled with four telescopes of the FARCOS array. Calibrations of the tagging system and of the FARCOS telescopes have been performed, for which accurate procedures have been carried out. In this paper, results on the analysis will be presented. Moreover, a brief review on the new fragment separator FRAISE, currently under construction at LNS, will be given.

The physics of clusters in heavy neutron-rich ions is a topic of constant interest in the worldwide scientific community. In recent times, many interesting phenomena have been investigated especially thanks to the development of new radioactive beam production facilities. One example is the clustering of α particles in neutron-rich isotopes of self-conjugated nuclei, such as 10Be or 16C, exhibiting even very large nuclear deformations. At Laboratori Nazionali del Sud of INFN, a study was carried out on the topic of α clustering, employing the CHIMERA and FARCOS detectors. Radioactive ions of interest, such as 10Be, 13B and 16C, were produced in a cocktail beam through the In-Flight fragmentation technique by the FRIBs@LNS facility. Particularly important for this study was the employment of four FARCOS detectors, offering high angular and energetic resolutions. Several calibration and analysis techniques have been exploited and developed in this experiment for the analysis of the data collected by FARCOS. Finally, some preliminary results on the analysis of 10Be and 16C spectroscopy will be shown, in relation to some results already collected in the literature.
