On the possibility of generating a 4-neutron resonance with a {\boldmath $T=3/2$} isospin 3-neutron force

Abstract

We consider the theoretical possibility to generate a narrow resonance in the four neutron system as suggested by a recent experimental result. To that end, a phenomenological $T=3/2$ three neutron force is introduced, in addition to a realistic $NN$ interaction. We inquire what should be the strength of the $3n$ force in order to generate such a resonance. The reliability of the three-neutron force in the $T=3/2$ channel is exmined, by analyzing its consistency with the low-lying $T=1$ states of ${}^4$H, ${}^4$He and ${}^4$Li and the ${}^3\mathrm{H}+n$ scattering. The {\it ab initio} solution of the $4n$ Schrödinger equation is obtained using the complex scaling method with boundary conditions appropiate to the four-body resonances. We find that in order to generate narrow $4n$ resonant states a remarkably attractive $3N$ force in the $T=3/2$ channel is required.
