The break-up of
11Be was studied at 41 AMeV using a secondary beam of
11Be from the GANIL facility on a
48Ti target by measuring correlations between the
10Be core, the emitted neutrons and gamma rays. The nuclear break-up leading to the emission of a neutron at large angle in the laboratory frame is identified with the “towing mode” through its characteristic
n-fragment correlation. The experimental spectra are compared with a model where the time dependent Schrödinger equation (TDSE) is solved for the neutron initially in the
11Be. A good agreement is found between experiment and theory for the shapes of neutron experimental energies and angular distributions. The spectroscopic factor of the 2
s orbital is tentatively extracted to be
0.46±0.15. The neutron emission from the 1
p and 1
d orbitals is also studied.
