The aim of the experiment was to investigate the cluster structure of the ground-state of light neutron-rich nuclei beyond alpha-clustering. Recent DFT calculations predict favorable triton formation in neutron-rich nuclear matter at 1/10 of the nuclear saturation density, a condition typically reached in the surface region of nuclei. Moreover, In a recent experiment performed at RIKEN, we have obtained a first evidence of sizeable triton formation at the surface of the halo nucleus 14Be. The experiment focused on the study of triton clustering in neutron-rich beryllium isotopes 10Be and 12Be by means of the triton pickup reaction (p,alpha). Quantitative information will be obtained by comparing measured differential cross-sections with DWBA calculations performed in a microscopic framework, involving cluster wave-function deduced from e.g. AMD models. The experiment was performed at the LISE beam line where intense beams of light neutron-rich isotopes are produced. For the measurement, MUGAST-EXOGAM setup was used, in combination with the zero degrees detection system of LISE.
