Sažetak
The structure and 2alpha+2p breakup of 10C, the only known Brunnian nucleus, has been studied at 33.3 MeV/nucleon. The breakup kinematics were used to reconstruct the 10C --> 9B +p, 9B --> 8Be +p, 8Be -->alpha+alpha and 10C --> 6Be +alpha, 6Be --> 5Li +p, 5Li -->alpha+p decay paths. Proton emission was seen to be favored. The decay of excited states at Ex=4.20, 5.31, and 6.74 MeV was observed. The previously unobserved state at 4.20 MeV may correspond to a Jpi=0+alpha+2p+alpha cluster structure.
