Three-body vs. dineutron approach to two-neutron radiative capture in ${}^6$He

Abstract

The low-energy behavior of the strength function for the $1^{-}$ soft dipole excitation in ${}^6$He is studied theoretically. Use of very large basis sizes and well-grounded extrapolation procedures allows to move to energies as small as 1 keV, at which the low-energy asymptotic behavior of the E1 strength function seems to be achieved. It is found that the low-energy behavior of the strength function is well described in the effective three-body "dynamical dineutron model". The astrophysical rate for the $\alpha$+$n$+$n{\to }^6$He+$\gamma$ is calculated. Comparison with the previous calculations is performed.
