(a) The dE-TAC correlation providing clear separation of gammas from neutrons.
(b) The ToF distribution.
The set of three peaks on the left corresponds to the gammas produced in the diaphragm installed 20 cm upstream the target plane, target frame, and CsI(Tl) array.
Green ad red-line histograms formed by the events, identified as gamma/neutron by the dE-TAC method.
(a) Correlation between the neutron energy in the 4n frame and the 4n decay energy.
The kinematical border showing the $E_{n} < 3/4 E_T (4$n) relation is shown with the red line.
(b) The 4n MM spectrum projected from red events in (a) by using the kinematical condition.
The orange dotted curve illustrates the 4-body phase volume $\sim E_T^{7/2}$.
Obviously, this spectrum shape can not be described just as a contribution of the 4-body phase space volume, see the orange dotted curve in Fig.\ \ref{fig:mm_4n} (b), indicating the presence of some resonance states of 4n lying at 3-4\,MeV above the 4n decay threshold.
