A candidate for a soft dipole resonance, a dipole oscillation mode between a core cluster and a neutron skin, was observed at Ex = 4±1 MeV and with a width of 4±1 MeV in 6He via the 6Li(7Li,7Be) reaction at an incident energy of 65A MeV and forward scattering angles including 0°. Its cross section is deduced to be σ(0°) = 0.9±0.2 mb/sr. This value is comparable to that of the giant dipole resonance simultaneously measured.
