Description
The long-standing question regarding the existence of a bound four-neutron system, a so-called tetraneutron, was addressed in an experiment at SAMURAI using the MINOS LH2 target. A $^{8}$He beam was used to perform a (p,p$\alpha$) reaction in inverse kinematics at large center-of-mass angles, allowing for the prompt removal of the $\alpha$ and thus minimizing its influence on the 4n system. Results of this experiment will be presented, as well as plans for an upcoming experiment briefly explained.
